3MV-4 No. 6 was the final 3MV series launch, intended to be a Venera-4 Venus flyby mission. At the end of ascent one of the four third stage combustion chambers exploded. The fourth stage failed to operate and the probe remained in Earth orbit. The 3MV-4 space probe and the Blok-L stage remained attached and were given the cover name Kosmos-96.

1966-U06
The second CSM to be launched, SC011 was launched at 1715 on 1966 Aug 25 aboard the AS-202 mission to test the CM heatshield at high heat load. It separated from the S-IVB stage, fired its SPS engine for a 3.5 min burn, reached an 1140 km apogee, and began to descend. The next SPS burn was for 90s, followed by two burns of 3s each to test restart capability. Reentry was at 8.69 km/s. Apollo SC011 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean south of Wake Island at 1849 UTC. It was recovered by the USS Hornet.
