Soyuz 18

  1975-044A

---

7K-T 11F615A8 No. 40 was assigned to replace the failed spacecraft No. 39, and its backup crew of Pyotr Klimuk and Vitaliy Sevastyanov launched less than two months after the Apr 5 failure. On successfully reaching orbit, 7K-T No. 40 became Soyuz-18.

Gambit 5

  1964-009A

---

KH-7 GAMBIT flight 5 was launched on 1964 Feb 25 by Atlas Agena D from Point Arguello. The Agena 4803 upper stage was not separately tracked, although a debris object (09B) which was cataloged without elements and reentered after 1 day may have been the Agena. After problems with pointing, the film was exposed on rev 16 and the rest of the mission was used for testing. The OCV made three burns to lower altitude to 130 km.

Gambit-3 8

 1967-090A

KH-8 no. 8 (GAMBIT 4308) was launched on 1967 Sep 19 by Titan 3B Agena D from Vandenberg. The later season precluded use of high sun angles so a later launch time was used, and the orbit was selected for lower latitude targets on descending passes.

Luna 4

1963-008B

E-6 No. 4 was successfully launched into a translunar trajectory on 1963 Apr 2 and announced as Luna-4. The spacecraft's astro-navigation system failed and the mid course correction burn was not made. Space Command seems to have tracked the Blok I stage as 1963-08A.

Nova 2

 1988-052A

Nova 2 (30490-39), launched in Jun 1988, was similar to the earlier Nova satellites. Its NNS designation was 30490. The Scout used a 34-inch heatshield. Launch mass was 170.5 kg.

Stage 4 was 301 kg full (MOR page 3) or 316 kg full (MOR page 4) and 39 kg empty.
