NOAA 4
1974-089A
NOAA 4 was launched on 1974 Nov 15 at 1711, by a Delta model 2310 from Vandenberg. Delta burn 1 took place at 1715. The NOAA and Delta coasted in transfer orbit from 1720 to 1808 when the second Delta burn circularized the orbit. NOAA 4 separated from the Delta at 1815, Oscar 7 separated from the Delta at 1828 and at 1847 the Delta restarted for a test burn. NOAA 4 reached a 115.0 min, 1447 x 1462 km x 101.8 deg orbit and operated until 1978.

Corona 45
1962-027
The seventh MURAL mission saw the introduction of the Agena D upper stage, destined to be one of the most successful rockets in the early history of space exploration. The satellite carried a battery of scientific experiments for FISHBOWL studies in addition to the CORONA payload. Targets included the Baikonur cosmodrome. The SRV was recovered after 4 days, but the film suffered from corona static and the index camera did not work due to light leaks and overexposure.
