Gambit 36

 1967-007A

---

KH-7 36 (GAMBIT 36) was launched on 1967 Feb 2 by Atlas Agena D from Vandenberg. It remained in orbit for 10 days, with the Agena rocket reentering after 2 days. The orbit shows little change through Feb 6; the next archival element set on Feb 10 shows a very low orbit, followed by a more circular orbit with a higher perigee on the next day, possibly indicating an orbital change associated with recovery. The SRV was recovered on Feb 10.
