1964-009A
KH-7 GAMBIT flight 5 was launched on 1964 Feb 25 by Atlas Agena D from Point Arguello. The Agena 4803 upper stage was not separately tracked, although a debris object (09B) which was cataloged without elements and reentered after 1 day may have been the Agena. After problems with pointing, the film was exposed on rev 16 and the rest of the mission was used for testing. The OCV made three burns to lower altitude to 130 km.
