abstract
  • The launch of Discoverer 28 occurred at 00:01 UTC on 4 August 1961. A Thor DM-21 Agena-B rocket was used, flying from Launch Complex 75-1-1 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. It failed to achieve orbit after the Agena's guidance and control system malfunctioned. Discoverer 28 was to have operated in a low Earth orbit. 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 to have been recorded onto -millimeter () film, and returned in a Satellite Recovery Vehicle. The Satellite Recovery Vehicle carried by Discoverer 28 was SRV-512.
