The final Almaz station to be launched was 11F71 No. 103, Almaz/OPS 3. OPS 3 took off from Baikonur on 1976 Jun 22.
The Soyuz-21 crew docked with Almaz on Jul 7. On Aug 17 the Almaz systems failed and the crew spent several tense hours with the station in free drift and with life support systems shut down, before they managed to restart everything. The following week, Zholobov became ill, with suspicions that the station's air had become contaminated. An expedited return to Earth was ordered.
Soyuz-23 failed to dock with the station in Oct 1976, and the next visitors arrived on Soyuz-24 on 1977 Feb 8. During the Soyuz-24 expedition the crew carried out the Atmosfera experiment to change the air on the station. This was originally prompted by the contamination fears. Tanks in the Soyuz BO were used to replenish the air as the station’s original air qwas vented from the EVA airlock; it appears that the station was not depressurized during this process. They landed on Feb 25 and the KSI film capsule was recovered the next day. The space station was maintained in orbit until August and then deorbited.

SAS C became Small Astronomical Satellite 3 (Explorer 53) shortly before launch. The spacecraft carried a number of x-ray astronomy experiments. SAS 3 was launched at 2245 on 1975 May 7 by Scout F-1 from San Marco into a 94.5 min, 499 x 508 km x 3.0 deg orbit. It operated until reentry on 1979 Apr 9.

Spacecraft 238 was launched in May 1998 as Progress M-39 carrying the usual cargoes and a special request of fresh lemons, and a guitar, plus 15 Oriental newts and 80 snails for adaptation studies. It was intended to be the first Progress to lower Mir's orbit in preparation for deorbiting, but this was changed. Progress No. 238 carried an Energiya experiment for protein crystal growth to be recovered by Baturin in August.
After undocking in August, it led Mir by 6min 49s on 28 Aug before beginning rendezvous burns to redock.

The Astron satellite was launched in Mar 1983 by a Proton-K with an 11S824M upper stage. It was essentially a Russian version of IUE, with twice the aperture but less sensitive detectors. It was inserted in a highly elliptical orbit of the kind previously used by the SO-M Prognoz solar observatories, with an apogee of 200000 km.
