Kosmos 1456

 1983-038A

---

The main mission of Kosmos-1456 ended after about four months owing to issues with single-charging events,but the spacecraft was used as an orbital spare until sometime in 1987.

Kosmos 1305

 1981-088A

---

Molniya-3 (F18) was launched in Sep 1981 into the D plane, but the fourth stage exploded during the burn and the satellite was announced as Kosmos-1305. The satellite survived with only innocuous damage and was used for engineering and component lifetime tests.

Digital advanced recon satellite, deorbited over Pacific at the end of its mission. The launch went directly to its operational 200 km perigee orbit, unlike later flights which used a perigee raise burn a day or more after insertion.

Progress (7K-TG) No. 149 was launched in Mar 1989 as Progress-41. It delivered 2238 kg of cargo to Mir. After undocking on Apr 20, it was to be deorbited as usual over the Pacific, but for the first time on a Progress mission the deorbit burn was incomplete when fuel ran out, leaving the vehicle in an orbit with a perigee of 127 km.

Surveyor 3

  1967-035A

---

Surveyor SC3 (Surveyor C) was launched at 0705 on 1967 Apr 17 by Atlas Centaur from Cape Kennedy. For the first time the 2-burn parking orbit ascent was used on an operational Surveyor flight, with RL10A3-3 engines on the Centaur. Translunar insertion was after a 22 min Earth orbit coast. Midcourse correction was carried out on Apr 18 at 0446. The landing was on Apr 20, with the radar separation at 0001 followed immediately by retrofire. The retro separated at 0004 and landing was at 0004:17. The verniers continued firing at landing, providing a thrust of 90 percent of the spacecraft's lunar weight. The first touchdown was followed by a 18-m sideways hop lasting 24s, then a second hop of about 12m in 12s to a third and final touchdown after vernier cutoff by ground command. Landing was in a 200-m crater. The last contact with Surveyor III was at 0004 on 1967 May 4 when the craft was shut down for the first lunar night. Attempts to revive it on the second lunar day from May 23 to Jun 2 were unsuccessful. However, in Nov 1969 the Apollo 12 astronauts visited the landing site at 2.94S 23.34W and retrieved parts of the Surveyor.
