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.

NASDA managed the BS-2 program for Japan's first operational direct broadcast service operated by NHK (Nihon Hoso Kyokai). The satellite, built by Toshiba and GE had a mass of 350 kg on orbit. Two transponders malfunctioned so only one channel was available.
The spacecraft was a box 1.3 x 1.2 x 1.5m. Used 26 kg dry, 321 kg prop, 1.24m l 0.69m dia Star 27 motor for insertion.

The 643 kg 1VA No. 2 probe was intended to make the first Venus flyby. It was successfully launched into solar orbit, but stopped transmitting two weeks after launch due to a thermal control failure. The Soviet press referred to the probe as Avtomaticheskaya Mezhplanetaya Stantsiya `Venera' (the `Venera' Automatic Interplanetary Station). In later years it was retrospectively renamed Venera-1.
The probe was 2.0m long 1.05m dia with a 2.4m antenna.
Solar orbit was 106 x 151 Mkm x 0.5 deg. i.e. 0.708 x 1.01 AU
