KH-7 19 was launched on 1965 Jun 25 by Atlas Agena D from Vandenberg into a 151 x 283 km x 107.6 deg orbit. Shortly after orbit insertion it ejected an electronic intelligence subsatellite. For some reason (probably administrative error) this subsatellite was given the earlier catalog number and the 1965-50A international designation, while the main payload got the 50B designation. A second object, 1965-50D, was tracked in the same orbit as the subsatellite but decayed more quickly.
