Kosmos 613

  1973-096A


7K-T 11F615A8 No. 34A was the third test flight of the stripped-down Soyuz ferry. It flew a 60 day long duration test to confirm that the systems would survive an extended stay powered down while docked to a DOS or Almaz station. The orbital module was jettisoned prior to retrofire and remained in orbit until 1974 Mar 9.
