Gambit 22

 1965-076A


KH-7 22 was launched on 1965 Sep 30 by Atlas Agena D from Vandenberg. The Agena was tracked as 1965-76B and reentered after 2 days. The OCV reentered after 4.7 days. High gas consumption led to restrictions on roll maneuvers and early recovery on rev 67, with imagery that reached better than 1 meter resolution.
