Discoverer 36
1961-034A
CORONA 36 was the fifth KH-3 mission, mission 9029. For the first time, a piggyback payload was carried on an Agena, the OSCAR amateur radio satellite. The CORONA mission was also the first flight to attain the design goal of four days and the SRV was recovered from the sea. Mid-air recovery was aborted due to an incorrect capsule beacon bearing according to a telex in the NRO archive.
Additional scientific experiments were also carried including an ionospheric beacon and particle detectors. Biological samples and nuclear emulsions were included with the film canister inside the SRV. The camera used an experimental mixture of SO-130 and SO-132 film on this flight.
A debris object which reentered on Dec 19, Alpha Kappa3, is listed in the SATCAT as Discoverer 36 Capsule, but is probably an experiment cover associated with the science payload.
