Star Probe by Joseph Green
Successful first contact depends on an industrialist's determination,
his dead father's experience and the industrialist's mentally deficient
expendable son's commandeered body in a Disco Era ableist adventure.

I know I have read this (I still have the copy on the shelves), but I
don't recognize your description at all.
TBH, the only bits I remembered were the deranged environmentalist,
the rocket launch scene, and that a rendezvous with an alien probe
was involved.
More than I remembered. Which bothers me a bit. There are books that I
bought decades ago, started to read at that time, and deliberately put
aside unfinished, and I remember why I did so. I think I will look
through the 1970s issues of _Analog_ just to see if I remember details
of the other serials (I think I read them all).
