Kosmos 27

  1964-014A


3MV-1 No. 3 was to test new systems for space probes and was to be launched toward Venus. It reached Earth orbit and the Blok-I third stage separated but the fourth stage control system failed. 3MV-1 No. 3 was given the cover name Kosmos-27; it would have been Zond-1 if successful. The USSR reported that Kosmos-27 `required only one orbit to complete its flight plan'.

STS-41 (Discovery)

 1990-090A


STS-41 deployed the Ulysses probe. After a last-minute hold at T-31s launch took place at 1147 UTC on 1990 Oct 6. On Oct 7 the crew executed the OMS-4 burn to phase the orbit for improved landing conditions.

DTO 827, a test of the digital autopilot's ability to operate at high pitch rates, ran into cross-coupling problems and was terminated after 40s after using up 137 kg of RCS fuel.
