1962-011A
KH-4 Mission 9032 was launched on 1962 Apr 18 by Thor Agena B from Vandenberg. This was the first of the lower inclination CORONA flights, at 73.5 degrees. After launch an Agena telemetry link was lost and it was decided to recover the capsule early. The SRV was recovered over the Pacific after 2 days. The film from 9032 showed images of Sacramento airport which allowed two-engined and four-engined aircraft to be distinguished and was just able to detect automobiles.

Mission 9008 (Flight 11) operated successfully until the spin rockets on the recovery capsule exploded during the recovery sequence and the damaged SRV entered an excessively high reentry trajectory. This was the first time the Model C Camera operated fully successfully, thanks to the use of a new polyester based film which replaced the old acetate base variety. Orbit mass was 781 kg.

1962-068A
The NASA A-15 payload was launched on 1962 Dec 13 from Cape Canaveral and named Relay I on successfully reaching its 1322 x 7439 km x 47.5 deg orbit. After initial communications malfunctions, it started operations on Dec 27 and was successfully used for communications experiments until 1965 Feb 10. Remarkably, intermittent transmissions were reported from the payload in March 1981. Relay was 78 kg, 0.81m dia, height 1.3m including rod antenna. This launch was the first to use the uprated AJ10-118D second stage.

Kosmos 86
1965-073A
Two weeks after the previous launch, another quintet of satellites was launched into approximately 1400 km orbit. It appears that the second stage may have performed inaccurately this time, since the orbits attained were more elliptical. The Kosmos-86 to Kosmos-90 quintet completed the Strela-1 constellation; it would be another five years before an operational Strela-1M constellation would appear.

Discoverer 29
1961-023
The first KH-3 mission was CORONA 29 (mission 9023), flown on Aug 30 to Sep 1 1961. The mission was advertised as a test of modifications to the Discoverer system. Orbit mass of Agena 1112 was 1136 kg. The Agena was injected with a flight path angle of 7 degrees above the horizontal resulting in a low perigee, eccentric orbit.
The mission was successful and was recovered from the Pacific Ocean, impacting 220 km north of the predicted area. However, when the film was developed it was found to be out of focus due to a design error in the camera. As well as the C''' camera, Discoverer 29 carried supplementary scientific experiments and an X-ray counter for the VELA HOTEL nuclear blast monitoring program. The X-ray experiment was intended to discover if the X-ray background included bursts which would be confused with nuclear explosions. Although such bursts were later discovered, the CORONA tests did not find them, but did map out auroral X-rays (F. Seward, personal communication). A fuse blew after one orbit cutting power supply to the science experiments.
