Summary
IDCSP 16 to 19 launched on an United States Air Force Titan IIIC from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on July 1, 1967. It was United States Air Force's 405th launch, 33rd this year and humanity's 722nd orbital launch attempt. It was the 9th Titan IIIC flight and the 3rd this year. The payload was bound for Geosynchronous Orbit (GSO). The tracked orbit of OPS 9331, one of 7 catalogued objects, from July 28, 1967, was 33,017 × 33,547 km inclined 7.1°. 7 objects from this launch are catalogued, 6 of them payloads.
