The movie "A Point in Time: The Corona Story" about the Corona spy satellite program. So many failures before success, and the program paved the way for so many better known later space launches.
> The CORONA[1] program was a series of American strategic reconnaissance satellites produced and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Directorate of Science & Technology with substantial assistance from the U.S. Air Force. The CORONA satellites were used for photographic surveillance of the Soviet Union (USSR), China, and other areas beginning in June 1959 and ending in May 1972.
