Discoverer 17
1960-015
CORONA flight 17 (Mission 9012) was successfully launched using the Agena B on 1960 Nov 12, although Agena 1062 burned longer than expected giving a high apogee. On orbit mass was 997 kg. The SRV was successfully recovered over the Pacific; however, the camera failed to take any pictures when the film broke after only 1.7 feet of leader had been fed into the KH-2 camera system.
