KH-7 GAMBIT flight 6 was launched on 1964 Mar 11 by Atlas Agena-D from Point Arguello into a 96 degree inclination orbit. According to the SATCAT, which is sometimes unreliable, NORAD tracked the Agena D 4804 rocket stage in a separate orbit with a much higher apogee. The GAMBIT OCV was deorbited after 4.3 days.
