---

KH-8 7 (GAMBIT 4307) was launched on 1967 Aug 16 by Titan 3B Agena D from Vandenberg. Perigee was 148.7 km, 11 km higher than planned due to a 7,6m/s overspeed. By rev 31 the perigee had decayed to 147.8 km and an orbit adjust reduced this to 139 km. The roll joint locked up initially but was freed after four hours.
