Discoverer 15
1960-012
KH-1 Mission 9010 was launched on 1960 Sep 13 by Thor Agena A from Vandenberg. Mass was 810 kg. The SRV from Discoverer XV was ejected on Sep 15, but insufficient remaining control gas in the Agena meant that the capsule was not correctly oriented, and it landed in the Pacific 1500 km south of the planned zone near Kiribati/Christmas Island, at 08 10N 159 15W.
