Gambit 10

 1964-045A

---

In Jul 1964 Point Arguello Naval Missile Facility became part of Vandenberg Air Force Base, and so the Point Arguello GAMBIT pad LC2-4 became Vandenberg Air Force Base pad PALC2-4. KH-7 number 10 was launched from Vandenberg PALC2-4 aboard an Atlas Agena D on 1964 Aug 14. Spacecraft 960 separated from the Agena D 4808 rocket stage into a 149 x 307 km x 95.5 deg orbit. A pickaback scientific P-11 subsatellite was also ejected from the Agena stage. The SRV was recovered on rev 65 even though the last picture was taken on rev 23.
