Corona 112

 1966-085A


KH-4A Mission 1035 reverted to use of the short tank TAT Agena D. The twin-bucket CORONA carried out its two five-day photography missions successfully. It introduced a modified J-1 system with a new geometry for the panomamic cameras, called Pan Geometry capability (rail holes and lamps to provide a reseau for cartographic operations). Targets in the south-eastern USSR, China, the Middle East, and the Balkans were observed, as well as some targets in Australia during Mission 1035-1 and South America during Mission 1035-2.
