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.
