Not sure if anyone remembers, but a few years ago, back when I had just started designing, I did a "model" of the Corona satellite. Being horribly inaccurate, toylike, and just outright garbage, I figured that I might as well do a new model of the Corona.
Although the program has been declassified, I'm still wary for whatever reason about the various drawings and photographs on the internet about the Satellite. So, a lot of this model is based on one technical drawing found on globalsecurity.org, with some conjecture to fill in the blanks, and some other reference material.
