The first DS-U2-IK Interkosmos ionospheric payload, Interkosmos-3, was launched on 1970 Aug 7 by 11K63 from Kapustin Yar. It studied high energy trapped protons and electrons, and propagation of radio waves in the ionosphere.

The last MCS satellite, Intelsat V F-9, was stranded in low orbit when its Centaur stage failed. A clogged fuel line meant that the first burn was 8 seconds shorter than planned, and the second burn shut down only 3.5 seconds into a planned 91 second firing. The thrusters were used to raise the orbit slightly; the satellite was deorbited using the apogee motor after 138 days. Following the loss of the Westar and Palapa satellites earlier in the year, the Intelsat failure triggered a rise in insurance premiums.

KH-4A Mission 1014 was launched on 1964 Nov 18 by Thrust Augmented Thor Agena D from Vandenberg into a 70 degree orbit for coverage of Cuba. The cameras operated successfully and both SRVs were successfully recovered. CORONA 89 also carried the USAF Cambridge Research Labs (AFCRL) ORBIS ionospheric beacon, which extended a 7.5 meter antenna transmitting at 10 MHz (there were also 5 and 0.19 MHz beacons which failed to operate). Launch was 4 hours earlier than normal to provide coverage of `certain areas' at times of long shadows. The mission carried an experimental filter set and smaller slits and included imagery of the Balkans and Zaire.
