Gambit 2

  1963-036A

---

SV 952, the second GAMBIT mission was launched on 1963 Sep 6 by Atlas Agena D from Point Arguello and reentered on Sep 13 from its 168 x 263 km x 94.4 deg orbit. With the attached OCV roll control was apparently not possible. The Agena 4701 upper stage separated from the OCV at the end of the mission, and it may have been one of four pieces of debris associated with the launch which reentered between Sep 8 and Sep 13. At separation the OCV stabilization system suffered an open valve and its control gas was lost,after which the OCV was deorbited.

Tiros 7

  1963-024A

---

Tiros VII (A-52,Tiros G) was an enlarged hatbox Tiros launched for the 1963 hurricane season. Liftoff came at 0950:02 on 1963 Jun 19, with orbit insertion at 1001. Tiros VII was the most successful of the early Tiros satellites, deactivated on 1968 Jun 1 after taking 125000 pictures. In Dec 1993 its orbit was 341 x 351 km x 58.2 deg, and it reentered in 1994. The satellite's orbit ensured that it operated in the opposite hemisphere to Tiros VI and was observing the northern hemisphere during the Atlantic hurricane season.

Mariner 1

  1962-F07

---

The design of the Mariner R probes was based on the Ranger series. They were targeted at flybys of Venus.

The first probe in the series, Mariner R-1, was launched at 0921:23 by Atlas Agena B from LC12 at Cape Canaveral. At 0926 (T+290s) the Atlas went off course due to a single character typo in the guidance equation and the rocket was destroyed. The R-1 probe was nevertheless assigned the name Mariner I.
