1964-056A
KH-4A Mission 1010 was launched on 1964 Sep 14. The first SRV was recovered on Sep 18 and the second on Sep 23. Small out of focus areas were found on both cameras at various times. Orbital mass was 1606 kg.
The Vandenberg launch report gives an orbital inclination of 80 degrees, while RAE data and the SATCAT give 85 degrees. I conclude the Vandenberg data is in error.
