The launch of Discoverer 22

Discoverer 22, also known as Corona 9015, was an American optical reconnaissance satellite which was lost in a launch failure in 1961. It was the fourth of ten Corona KH-2 satellites, based on the Agena-B.[1]

The launch of Discoverer 22 occurred at 20:34:43 UTC on 30 March 1961. A Thor DM-21 Agena-B rocket was used, flying from launch pad 75-3-4 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base.[2] Due to a malfunction of the rocket's second stage, it failed to achieve orbit.[3]

Discoverer 22 was to have operated in a low Earth orbit. It had a mass of Шаблон:Convert,[4] and was equipped with a panoramic camera with a focal length of Шаблон:Convert, which had a maximum resolution of Шаблон:Convert.[5] Images were to have been recorded onto Шаблон:Convert film, and returned in a Satellite Recovery Vehicle.
