Line 41: == Mission results == As a result of a malfunction in the Thor-Delta 3913 launch vehicle in which its main engine shut off slightly early, DE-2 was placed into a slightly lower orbit than was anticipated. This was not a serious problem, however, and the spacecraft had lasted its expected lifespan when it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on 19 February 1983. An overview of the results from the first 5 years of the mission was published in a special edition of [[Reviews of Geophysics]].<ref>Hoffman, R. A.
