Soyuz 4

  1969-004A

---

7K-OK (11F615) No. 12 was launched on 1969 Jan 14 with pilot Vladimir Shatalov aboard.

After docking, Soyuz-5 bortinzhener (flight engineer) Aleksey Yeliseev and inzhener-ispitatel' (test engineer) Yevgeniy Khrunov transferred from the BO of Soyuz-5 to that of Soyuz-4. The Yastreb spacesuits had life support systems strapped to the legs, to allow the astronauts to fit through the 0.66m diameter BO hatches (later missions had enlarged hatches).

Khrunov went outside first, then returned to the compartment because he had connected Yeliseyev's suit to external supply instead of his own. After he transferred and connected to Soyuz-5, Yeliseyev made the transfer. The Yastreb spacesuits were left in the Soyuz-5 orbital module.

Kosmos 1100

 1979-042A

---

The fourth and final LVI flight was a partial failure; one VA, VA No. 102A, was severely damaged on landing when the power system malfunctioned during descent. VA No. 102 may have been recovered. VAs No. 103/1 and 103/2, planned for LVI-5, were reassigned.

Luna 14

  1968-027A

E-6LS No. 113 was launched on 1968 Apr 7 and named Luna-14. Luna-14 entered orbit around the Moon on Apr 10 and transmitted until sometime in June. Like Kosmos-159, it was based on Luna-12 and used for communications testing. It tested components for the piloted lunar L-3 project and mapped mascons.

Kosmos 41

 1964-049D

---

The second Molniya-1, No. 1 (F2) was designated Kosmos-41 after launch into an approximately 12 hour elliptical orbit. The communication antennae failed to deploy but the orbit engine and a secondary radiation experiment operated for several months.

Launch vehicle was R10336 according to Varlomeyev, G10319 according to Glazami. Chertok reports that the parabolic antennae failed to deploy but the satellite operated for 9 months for tests of spacecraft control.

In May 2004, Space Command swapped the names for 00869 (originally tagged as Kosmos-41) and 00898 (originally tagged as the Blok-L stage).
