Propellant[edit]

This page said the fuel was JP-4. The Agena used UDMH. A few web sources also said JP-4, but I suspect they just got their info from Wikipedia. Better sources, including the Air Force museum, "Encyclopedia of US Spacecraft" by Bill Yenne, and the image included with this article say UDMH. So I'm pretty sure that's right and JP-4 is wrong.

Yes, you're absolutely right; JP-4 is most definitely not hypergolic, requiring an ignition system and an oxidizer such as LOX. The US hypergolic rockets have traditionally used hydrazine in some form as the fuel. I don't know how that ignorant error got overlooked for so long; thanks for correcting it.
