San Marco 4
1974-009A
The San Marco C2 satellite repeated the San Marco C program. The 0.71m dia 176 kg spherical satellite had four 0.49m antennae on the top for a total height of around 1.0m. It was named San Marco 4 after launch in Feb 1974. The orbit was slightly higher than planned, with an apogee of 930 km instead of 850. However, the drag balance experiment did not work correctly after launch.
The Italian Space Commission (Commisione per le Richerche Spaziali, CRS) signed a memorandum of understanding with NASA for the launch; CRA (Centro Ricerche Aerospaziali) managed the project. Command was from MITS, the Mobile Italian Telemetry Station in Kenya.

Corona 52
1962-050
Mission 9045 was the second low inclination (65 degree) flight, also targeted to Kamchatka. It was launched on 1962 Sep 29 by Thor Agena D from Vandenberg. Agena 1154 orbital mass was 1276 kg. This mission marked the first use of the stellar camera. Spacecraft 1154 suffered from attitude control problems, and numerous camera light leaks. The SRV was recovered after 3 days on rev 48 in an airborne recovery. The lifeboat mode was used to recover the SRV because of the stability problems.
