Lanyard 2

 1963-016A


On the second LANYARD flight, KH-6 mission 8002 the Agena command decoder failed on orbit: the guidance power was not switched off and the payload power was not switched on. The separate lifeboat circuit allowed recovery, and the capsule was recovered from the sea near Hawaii on May 20 after ejection on rev 32.

Auroral electron detectors were carried as a secondary payload, and orbital mass was 1615 kg. It was probably also carrying the Nike Zeus miss distance measuring system for an intercept on 1963 May 24.
