We didn't fly a polar orbit. We flew circumferentially and gathered broad oceanic data. Interestingly, we had a foreign agent in our group; it was my first experience with being a target of spying. When we orbited over Russia we had to turn the radar off, or we could have caused a war. But we accidentally detected subsurface submarines elsewhere and the military stepped in and shut us down. Much of the project has been wiped from public records. This taught me that there are some lies about some of the space programs.
