The below article was written for philatelic launch cover collectors but contains good information on early "Project Corona".

The CIA History Staff Center for The Study of Intelligence released a publication a few years back (1995) titled:-

CORONA : America's First Satellite Program

Its a "quirky" publication as it contains repros of what were Classified documents (some parts still 'blacked out') and the interpretations of some of the images obatined e.g chronological development of the Kapustin Yar/Vladimirokva and Tyuratam Missile Test Centres 1957-1963

It has early images taken by some of the Corona missions and interpretive maps to go with them.
