Spacecraft 3KA No. 2 (Vostok-3A No. 2) was the final test flight, lasting one orbit - a dress rehearsal for the first piloted space flight. Korabl'-Sputnik-5 was launched on 1961 Mar 25, a few weeks before Gagarin. It carried a second cosmonaut-simulator and a dog. The dog Zvezdochka was recovered safely in the sphere.

KH-4A Mission 1043 (CORONA 119) was launched on 1967 Aug 7 by Thorad Agena D from Vandenberg. The satellite carried the J-1 camera system and the USAF Space Test Program's S67-3 research payload, which included a solar X-ray spectrometer and two radiometers to measure the infrared spectrum of the Earth's background radiation.
The Thorad burned to depletion but fell short by 77m/s of the required speed; the Agena burned to depletion to make up some of the lack, but a low apogee resulted. Planned orbit was 184 x 379 x 80.0, actual was 176 x 336 x 80.0 (PER). Three OAS rockets were fired to make up the difference. Both SRVs were recovered successfully. The forward camera film came off the rails on pass 230D, limiting imagery taken after that point to the aft camera. The S67-3 experiment results were used in the design of later military IR sensors. RM-15 had a mass of 41 kg; RM-12 also had a mass of 41 kg.
