1971-F04
The Mariner Mars 71 program used a new design, with a large Mars orbit insertion motor added to the basic Mariner MM69 bus. Three craft were built, with MM71-3 as a proof test model.
The first launch, payload MM71-1, Mariner 71H (Mariner H) or Mariner VIII, left the pad at 0111 on 1971 May 9 on azimuth 102.0 deg. However, at Centaur ignition the guidance failed and the rocket tumbled. Centaur and spacecraft separated and both fell back into the atmosphere about 1660 km downrange, 550 km N of Puerto Rico.
The original mission plan called for two missions: Mission A (Mariner 8) in an 1800 x 17000 km x 50-80 deg orbit for a mapping mission, and Mission B (Mariner 9) in a <1800 x 41500 km x 50-60 deg orbit, to study time-variable atmospheric and surface features. Following the Mariner 8 failure, a new mission was defined for Mariner 9.

The next Resurs F-1 satellite carried a modified camera payload and was designated 14F40 No. 59. The 14F40 series was externally similar to the 17F41 satellite. The first 14F40 launch, Kosmos-1762, used complex 16 at Plesetsk for the first time in the Resurs F series, and entered an 82.5 deg orbit instead of the usual 82.35 deg orbit.

The third test flight of the 7K-TM carried the EPAS backup crew of Anatoliy Filipchenko and Nikolai Rukavishnikov. The BO carried a special docking simulator attached to the APAS system, which was used to test out the docking and undocking procedure. It was jettisoned prior to reentry. The spacecraft was designated 11F615A12 No. 73 and named Soyuz-16.
