Beskrivning : "Big Bird 7", was a large reconnaissance satellite to replace the earlier KH-4B Corona satellites. In contrast to earlier models, it was not based on the Agena stage, but on a new maneuverable bus called SCS (Satellite Control Section). It featured four return capsules for a much increased lifetime.
