Corona 48
1962-034
Corona mission 9041 carried a set of scientific experiments as well as its reconnaissance payload. It was launched on 1962 Aug 2 by Thor Agena D from Vandenberg. The capsule was recovered in mid air on Aug 6. Corona and radiation fog again compromised the data. The main targets for 9041 were the ICBM search along the Trans-Siberian and Polyarnyy-Ural railroads, the Kamchatka ABM area, the Irkutsk-Angarsk target complex, the Murmansk-Kola and Archangelsk-Severodirnski naval complexes, the Kapustin Yar, Baikonur and Sary Shagan launch sites and the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site.
