  • The launch of Discoverer 36 occurred at 20:40 UTC on 12 December 1961. A Thor DM-21 Agena-B rocket was used, flying from Launch Complex 75-3-4 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. Upon successfully reaching orbit, it was assigned the Harvard designation 1961 Alpha Kappa 1. OSCAR 1, the first amateur radio satellite, was launched aboard the same rocket. Discoverer 36 was operated in a low Earth orbit, with a perigee of kilometre (mi), an apogee of kilometre (mi), 81.1 degrees of inclination, and a period of 91.2 minutes. The satellite had a mass of kilogram (lb), and was equipped with a panoramic camera with a focal length of centimetre (in), which had a maximum resolution of metre (ft). Images were recorded onto -millimeter () film, and returned in a Satellite Recovery Vehicle four days after launch. The Satellite Recovery Vehicle used by Discoverer 36 was SRV-525. Once its images had been returned, Discoverer 36 remained in orbit until it decayed on 8 March 1962.
