The report describes the support Sandia Laboratories provided the Dutch-Japanese scientists in doing their Leinax 4 Stellar X-ray Experiment and the performance of the Sandia supplied hardware (Sandia Test Number 281-042). The Terrier-Sandhawk booster system performed as expected. The payload reached an apogee of 271.5 km at 260.8 sec. The ground command attitude control system maneuvered the detector through the desired scan and cross scan pattern of a segment of sky in the constellation Lupus. The telemetry operated properly throughout the flight. The payload was not recovered as the parachute was prematurely deployed at an altitude of 18.6 km at a velocity of 1.5 km/s.
