The Agena-B took months to be ready for Atlas launches and did not fly on that booster until Midas 3 on July 12, 1961. The final Agena-B flight was the launch of OGO 3 on June 7, 1966. A total of 76 were launched. 585:, who suggested standardizing the basic Agena configuration (up to this point, each Agena was custom-built for both the payload and the launch vehicle it was used with), and adding additional features depending on payload requirements, and a requirement from the Pentagon that the Agena be made compatible with the 599:
Its orbital configuration had a diameter of 60 in (1.5 m) and a length of 248 in (6.3 m), and provided 19,500 Wh of electrical power from batteries. As of 2014, the Agena-D is the most-launched US upper stage. A special production line was set up to turn out 40 Agena-D spacecraft

The Agena D's common configuration included four usable modules containing the major guidance, beacon, power, and telemetry equipment, a standard payload console, and a rear rack above the engine for plug-in installation of optional gear-like solar panels, "piggyback" subsatellites, and an optional

Since many of the Agenas have remained in orbit long after they were needed, they've had time to break-up resulting in more orbital debris. They are thought to have exploded due to residual propellant igniting.

During 1960, Lockheed introduced the improved Agena-B, which could be restarted in orbit and had longer propellant tanks for increased burn time. It was launched atop Thor and Atlas rockets.

In the early 1970s Lockheed studied the use of Agena as a payload booster in the Space Shuttle payload bay. An Agena-C with an increased diameter was proposed, but never built.

Only 33 Agenas carried NASA payloads and the vast majority were for DoD programs. 4334: 479: 3977: 1356: 4442: 3932: 3823: 3657: 3549: 1323: 5280: 5035: 4877: 3972: 3736: 2340: 398:" shape, allowing machinists to gun-drill straight cooling channels through the curved surfaces of the combustion chamber.
