Chalet 8

 1978-058A

---

The first Program 366 payload was launched in Jun 1978. A burn at first descending node seems most probable, with a good match to insertion into elliptical GEO over the Indian Ocean, the preferred location for CANYON-type operations over the USSR.

The first Zenit-6U set the pattern, insertion into elliptical orbit followed by circularization at 400 km a day or two later.

Gambit 6

 1964-012A

---

KH-7 GAMBIT flight 6 was launched on 1964 Mar 11 by Atlas Agena D from Point Arguello into a 96 degree inclination orbit. According to the SATCAT, NORAD tracked the Agena D rocket stage in a separate orbit with a much higher apogee. Various OCV orbital burns were made. This flight was considered to be the first on which important intelligence data was collected. The vehicle operated for 3 days and 170 targets were imaged.

Zenit-2 No. 61 used the 51.8 degree profile and flew a standard 8 day mission. However, the descent module parachute failed to fully inflate and the SA was damaged on landing. About 25% of the film was destroyed. Landing was 65 km S of Orenburg at 51 03 N 55 44 E.
