1964-067A
KH-4A Mission 1012 was launched on 1964 Oct 17 into a 75 degree inclination orbit. Mass was 1667 kg. The first SRV was recovered in mid-air over the Pacific on Oct 20. The second part of the mission, 1012-2, was cut short when attitude control became erratic, but bad weather on Oct 23 prevented a second mid-air recovery, and SRV-2 landed in the Pacific ocean, being successfully retrieved later albeit with minimal film content. Targets included Cuba and Algeria.
