Venera 2C

  1962-045A


The third probe to be launched in the 1962 Venus window was 2MV-2 No. 1, on 1962 Sep 12. As the 8K78 rocket reached orbit and shut down the third stage main engine, a failed LOX cutoff value caused an explosion in one of the four vernier chambers in the 8D715K engine. However, the mission continued as planned until the Blok-L main engine shut down 1s into its burn when the oxidizer pump failed.
