The Agena's problems began 368 seconds after launch. At that moment, precisely on schedule, fuming nitric acid fuel began spraying into the rocket's thrust chamber, followed a few milliseconds later by the oxidizer, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine. Somehow, too much fuel entered the chamber ahead of the oxidizer...
Investigators believe that the jolt was so severe that the Agena engine shut down and enough pressure built up in the fuel and oxidizer tanks to rupture them. After that, the Agena either broke up or was destroyed in a fiery blast of fuel and oxidizer from the burst tanks...
Though repeated ground tests of the Agena have been so successful that the odds are high against the occurrence of another hard start, NASA is not taking any chances. The rocket will be modified if it is still to be used as planned in the flight of Gemini 8. On...
