abstract
  • The launch of Discoverer 32 occurred at 19:22 UTC on 13 October 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 Gamma 1. Discoverer 32 was operated in a low Earth orbit, with a perigee of kilometre (mi), an apogee of kilometre (mi), 81.6 degrees of inclination, and a period of 90.3 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, which was deorbited one day after launch. The Satellite Recovery Vehicle used by Discoverer 32 was SRV-555. Following the return of its images, Discoverer 32 remained in orbit until it decayed on 13 November 1961. Most of the images it produced were found to have been out of focus.
