Gambit-3 15
1968-064A
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?).

DAPP 9
1964-031A
The second pair of twins was launched five months after the first. Both satellites were deployed successfully. The AFCRL list quotes a cosmic ray emulsion pack as being recovered from "18 Jun 64 1964-31A", but this is almost certainly an error and should refer to the next day's CORONA flight "19 Jun 64 1964-32A". The Vandenberg launch report includes no reference to a capsule recovery and NRO documents confirm a dual metsat payload was carried. The Vandenberg launch report quotes an actual inclination of 100.6 deg, while subsequent orbital data shows the true value to be 99.8 deg, much closer to the planned value - the 100.6 figure is probably a typo.

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:
