The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Part of the OV1 series of USAF satellites, using standardized designs and sent to orbit on decommissioned Atlas ICBMs to reduce development and launching costs, OV1-17 was launched via Atlas F along with OV1-18 and OV1-19.
- Its primary purpose was to measure the effects of the Earth's ionosphere on detection, control, communications, and tracking systems in space.
- Because its stabilization system failed to deploy, and because of the abbreviated data sets, the flight yielded relatively few scientific results.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The OV1-17 article was read about 470 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 58 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get OV1-17
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
