Spacecraft 7K-T No. 39 was launched on 1975 Apr 5, carrying the second expedition to the DOS 4 space station, Vasiliy Lazarev and Oleg Makarov. Five minutes after launch, the R-7 core cutoff but failed to separate completely, as the Blok-I stage ignited. The dead weight of the R-7 dragged the launcher off course and the mission was aborted; the BO and SA of the spacecraft separated from the PAO, which remained attached to the Blok-I stage. The fairing was jettisoned and the spacecraft reached an apogee of 192 km before beginning a 20-g reentry. The BO separated from the SA. Then the SA, containing the crew, crash-landed in the Altai mountains 1574 km southwest of Gorno-Altaisk, in Mongolia and near the Chinese border. The flight had lasted 21 minutes and 27 seconds.
Under pressure from the US because of the upcoming ASTP launch, the failed launch was revealed by the USSR a few days later, but it was not assigned the Soyuz-18 name. Contemporary public Soviet announcements refer to it only as `Anomaliya Pyatovo Aprela', the April 5th Anomaly. The failure analysis rapidly gave the green light to ASTP, the Soviets claiming that the failure was specific to the older model of booster being used for the April 5 launch (it used the 11A511, while Soyuz-19 would use the newer 11A511U).

In Jul 1964 Point Arguello Naval Missile Facility became part of Vandenberg Air Force Base, and so the Point Arguello GAMBIT pad LC2-4 became Vandenberg Air Force Base pad PALC2-4. KH-7 number 10 was launched from Vandenberg PALC2-4 aboard an Atlas Agena D on 1964 Aug 14. Spacecraft 960 separated from the Agena D 4808 rocket stage into a 149 x 307 km x 95.5 deg orbit. A pickaback scientific P-11 subsatellite was also ejected from the Agena stage. The SRV was recovered on rev 65 even though the last picture was taken on rev 23.
