KH-4A Mission 1038 was launched on 1967 Jan 14 by TAT Agena D from Vandenberg into an 80 degree orbit. Mission 1038-1 was completed on Jan 19 after 5 days, and Mission 1038-2 ran from Jan 19 to Jan 26 for a duration of 7 days. Both SRVs were recovered and the image quality was recorded as fair to poor, possibly due to atmospheric factors.

KH-4A Mission 1048 was launched by Thorad Agena D from Vandenberg on 1968 Sep 18. Both SRVs were recovered but the forward camera failed on mission 1048-2 during pass 181D. The mission carried at least 7 DMU rockets, possibly of a modified design; the first was used as planned to achieve the nominal orbit; the next three were used to maintain orbital height; and the last three were fired retrograde and used to test out the Thiokol motors. DMU 6 and 7 were 3000 lb-s; the remaindeer were 2000 lb-s versions.

The second launch was Titan IIIA-1, which orbited Transtage 1 with a 1366 kg payload. (ETR report says 1700 kg lead payload; MR641221-8 says 1524 kg, but the 1968 Transtage flight summary seems definitive.) In this case the truss was 148 kg with 1218 kg of ballast.

Intelsat 509

 1984-057A

---

The last MCS satellite, Intelsat V F-9, was stranded in low orbit when its Centaur stage failed. A clogged fuel line meant that the first burn was 8 seconds shorter than planned, and the second burn shut down only 3.5 seconds into a planned 91 second firing. The thrusters were used to raise the orbit slightly; the satellite was deorbited using the apogee motor after 138 days. Following the loss of the Westar and Palapa satellites earlier in the year, the Intelsat failure triggered a rise in insurance premiums.

KH-4A Mission 1014 was launched on 1964 Nov 18 by Thrust Augmented Thor Agena D from Vandenberg into a 70 degree orbit for coverage of Cuba. The cameras operated successfully and both SRVs were successfully recovered. CORONA 89 also carried the USAF Cambridge Research Labs (AFCRL) ORBIS ionospheric beacon, which extended a 7.5 meter antenna transmitting at 10 MHz (there were also 5 and 0.19 MHz beacons which failed to operate). Launch was 4 hours earlier than normal to provide coverage of `certain areas' at times of long shadows. The mission carried an experimental filter set and smaller slits and included imagery of the Balkans and Zaire.
