Kosmos 743

  1975-053A


There is some question as to whether this vehicle used 11A57 or 11A511U: the NK forum in 2010 said it was actually 11A511U. Unlike most Germes flights, Kosmos-743 made several orbital changes.

Gambit-3 32

  1971-070A


KH-8 32 was launched on 1971 Aug 12 by Titan IIIB Agena D from Vandenberg on a 22 day flight. This flight was the first to fly the longer focal length R-5 optical system and marked the transition to the long tank Titan 24B. The vehicle was deorbited over Alaska as part of the VAST 3 experiment to recover a 'payload sensor'.
