The first KH-4A flight, mission 1001, was launched on 1963 Aug 25 as with Agena 1162. The first `bucket' of film was recovered on Aug 28, with some film being fogged. The attempt to use `zombie' mode in which CORONA was deactivated and later reactivated was unsuccessful. However, an object was cataloged in orbit which may represent the SRV-2 fairing. Orbital mass of Agena 1162 was 1605 kg; payload of J-1 was 639 kg on orbit implying a 966 kg Agena.

KH-4A Mission 1004 was the first fully successful twin-bucket flight. Agena vehicle 1174 replaced 1170 on the Thor booster after a failed countdown on 1964 Jan 20. It was launched by TAT Agena D into a 179 x 446 km orbit with an inclination of 75 degrees on 1964 Feb 15. The second bucket was recovered on Feb 23 and Agena 1174 reentered on Mar 9. The mission was successful, with minor film degradation due to static and light leaks.
