Some 3 days later a capsule was ejected and later recovered in mid-air northwest of Hawaii after 32 orbits. Discoverer XXVI is somewhat larger than its predecessors attaining a height of 80 feet.". The credits show, "Plastichrome by COLOURPICTURE PUBLISHERS, INC., BOSTON 36, MASS. U.S.A. - Made in U. S. A. - Photo by U.S.A.F.".
