The S-017 payload, OSO B, was damaged in an accident on 1964 Apr 14 when the Altair X-248A6 third stage ignited during a ground test and the vehicle launched itself to the building ceiling. Unlike the later X-258, the X-248 igniter was sensitive to electrostatic potentials generated by normal activity in the clean room. There were three fatalities.

Parts from OSO B were combined with an engineering prototype to create OSO B2, which was launched at 1636 on 1965 Feb 3 by a Delta C from Cape Canaveral. 12 minutes later, Orbiting Solar Observatory 2 was in a 96.40 min, 550 x 634 km x 32.9 deg orbit. It transmitted regularly until 1965 Nov and was used occasionally until mid 1966.

Luna-11 was a modified lunar satellite, designated E-6LF No. 101. The E-6LF probes were larger than Luna-10 and the instrument section did not separate from the DU. It was intended for lunar photography, but the attitude control failed after orbit insertion and the images were of deep space instead of the Moon.
