KH-8 15 was launched on 1968 Aug 6 by Titan 3B Agena D from Vandenberg. The spacecraft reentered after only 9 days and it has been suggested that it performed poorly, but the short lifetime is not inconsistent with other missions around this time and the Perry history reports a nominal flight with good resolution imagery.

Kosmos 1571

 1984-058A

---

The TsSKB web site gives this launch as the first Zenit-8 launch. The VKS history talks about Zenit-8 test flights in 1979-83, but I think it's in error (confusion between Zenit-4MKM, Zenit-6 and Zenit-8?).

Tiros-N

 1978-096A

---

Tiros N, the prototype for the Tiros N series, was launched on 1978 Oct 13 by Atlas F from Vandenberg into a suborbital trajectory on azimuth 192.8 deg. The Star 37S (TE-364-15) solid motor fired at apogee, inserting the payload into a 850 x 866 km x 98.9 deg, 102.1 min orbit with 0300LTDN afternoon orbit. After several weeks of system checkout, NASA transferred the satellite to NOAA-NESS and it entered operational service on 1979 Jan 1. On 1981 Feb 27 Tiros N lost attitude control and was abandoned.

Tiros N was 3.71m high 1.88m dia with a launch mass of 1405 kg. At BOL, mass is 723 kg after AKM and RCS burns. AKM is 48 kg with 664 kg of prop:

Myojo

 1994-007B

---

The first test launch of the H-II heavy launch vehicle carried a Vehicle Evaluation Payload (VEP). The 2400 kg VEP was the ETS-6 ground test model, and consisted of vehicle monitoring instruments, attached to the first LAPS liquid apogee stage. The LAPS stage carried 1470 kg of propellant ballast. VEP was named Myojo (Morning/Evening Star) once in orbit. VEP took off aboard H-2-1F from the Yoshinobu complex at Tanegashima on 1994 Feb 3.

Discoverer 1

  1959-002

---

The first CORONA test satellite, Agena 1019, was to be launched aboard Thor 160 on 1959 Jan 21 from Vandenberg's Pad 4. However, during countdown the ullage rockets and separation systems on the Agena fired and the payload was severely damaged. The Thor rocket needed repairs and would later launch Discoverer 12. A second satellite, Agena 1022, and a new Thor missile, No. 163, were readied for launch.

The first actual CORONA program launch was on 28 Feb 1959. Discoverer 1 used Agena satellite vehicle 1022 and Thor missile No. 163. The Thor Agena climbed away from pad 4 on complex 75-3 at Vandenberg, but after six minutes contact was lost. For several days its fate was uncertain, but from 2 to 5 March intermittent signals and radar contacts were claimed by a variety of ground stations from the tumbling, out of control, satellite. The CORONA history reports that as of the early 1970s the program remembered the first launch as a probable failure which presumably made a suborbital flight to impact near the South Pole. While this is not impossible, since there have been other cases of signals being apparently received from satellites which were later discovered to have never reached orbit, the quantity and variety of reports over a period of several days reported by the New York Times originally led me to prefer the standard, 1959, version of events over the revisionist, 1970s, version. The Commander's Report  states

---

Injection angle of -2.5 degrees caused lifetime of under seven days. No telemetry or radar contacts made. Sporadic doppler sightings confirmed orbit. Vehicle believed damaged structurally and/or thermally at injection or during first pass.

---

However, in a filmed 1996 TV interview Col. Frank Bouchard, the USAF officer who signed the report claiming success said he actually believes the Agena never entered orbit.

Satellite tables still list Discoverer with the international designation 1959 Beta. The RAE Table of Earth Satellites gives an orbit of 163 x 968 km with an inclination of 89.7 degrees, and a reentry date of Mar 5, while Space Command's Satellite Catalog gives an orbit of 114 x 697 km with an inclination of 90.0 degrees and a reentry date of Mar 3.

Interkosmos 12

 1974-086A

---

DS-U2-IK No. 4 (Interkosmos-12) was launched on 1974 Oct 31 by Kosmos-3M from Plesetsk. It had an ionospheric beacon, electron temperature and density, ion temperature and density sensors, and a micrometeor detector.

The satellite operated at least through the end of 1974, probably to Feb 1975.

KH-4 Mission 9053 flew a 3 day mission at 75 degrees and was successfully recovered in mid-air with the best imagery to date. Recovery was commanded early because of a power amplifier failure.

Surveyor 6

  1967-112A

---

Surveyor 6 was launched at 0739 on 1967 Nov 7 by Atlas Centaur from Kennedy on azimuth 83.0 deg. The probe made a two burn parking orbit ascent. It made a course correction at 0220 on Nov 8. Surveyor VI landed on the Moon at 0101:05 on Nov 10 at 0.47N 1.48W in Sinus Medii. (0.47N 1.48W comes from LO photo correlation, 0.44N 1.37W from tracking; final project report gave 0.51N 1.39W).

At 1032 on Nov 17 the vernier engines were reignited to make a 3m high hop, the first rocket launch from the surface of the Moon.
