DOS 4 (17K No. 124) was launched on 1974 Dec 26 and named Salyut-4. This was the first fully successful Soviet space station. Three expeditions were sent to the station: Soyuz-17 (D-4-1 crew), docked to the station for 28d04h43m, the D-4-2 crew aboard the Apr 1975 Soyuz launch abort, and the D-4-3 crew on Soyuz-18 which set a 63-day duration record (docked for 61d16h27m). Following this, the automated Soyuz-20 flight demonstrated automatic rendezvous and docking with a DOS station, proving technology needed for the Progress missions to DOS 5 (Salyut-6).

Kosmos-814 attempted a first-orbit intercept. The initial orbit put its closest approach 200 km from Kosmos-803. Russian sources claim the intercept was successful; I calculate that a burn at 1735 UTC, over the eastern USSR, could have adjusted the trajectory to 184 x 589 km x 65.77 deg and achieved a 1 km pass at 1806 UTC. Johnson speculated that the intercept orbit was a 556 x 615 km low-speed pass.

Kosmos-862 was the first LKI test satellite. It disintegrated in Mar 1977. Two of the debris objects were quite large, and one of them (9889) broke up into more pieces just prior to reentry in 2014. The main spacecraft remains in orbit.
