Well I can't see anything on the NASA page that resembles Gunter's, and if I hadn't seen this would have tagged it for speedy. However, I've blanked it for further evaluation and closure through WP:CP. If you could provide some more info that would be great. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 16:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I've found some of this content at [1]. The part beginning "The spacecraft functioned well except" is also available at page 22 of this PDF, but I can't tell if it's PD, although it's hosted on a military website, since it was prepared by the Computer Sciences Corporation. I've removed it for now, pending some clarification of its status.
