Corona 69

 1963-034A


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.
