KH-4 Mission 9037 was launched on 1962 Jun 23 by Thor Agena B from Vandenberg. It reached a 213 x 293 km x 75.1 deg orbit, lower than planned. The satellite carried the MURAL camera system and the Space Radio Project to measure celestial diffuse radio emission. To this point the HSRP flights detected only terrestrial interference. FTV 1129 also carried a number of ionospheric experiments which were intended to study the effects of the FISHBOWL atmospheric nuclear tests . The SRV was recovered after a two day flight.
