Soyuz 13
1973-103A
To compensate for delays in the DOS program, Mishin's engineers modified an old-style 7K-T with solar panels to carry a scientific payload including the Orion-2 ultraviolet telescope and a multispectral camera. The payload was mounted in the nose of the BO, replacing the docking system. 11F615A8 No. 33 was launched in Dec 1973 on an 8 day mission with crew Pyotr Klimuk and Valentin Lebedev.

Ariel 1
1962-015A
The UK 1 satellite was built by NASA-GSFC for the British National Committee on Space Research and the Dept. of Science and Industrial Research. The spacecraft structure was made by Washington Technical Associates. NASA designated the payload S-51. It was named Ariel after launch from Cape Canaveral in Apr 1962 and was billed as the first international satellite.

Intelsat 307
1970-032A
The F-7 satellite was Atlantic Primary for two years, but failed in 1972. It appears to have been relocated to 3W in mid-1971. The orbit was low after the third stage burn and after apogee firing the altitude was made up with RCS burns. One transponder failed after 22 months in orbit.It seems that the first stage underperformed, but that the launch was still counted a success. D. Baker says that Intelsat quarterly operations reports show it still active to circa 1986.
