1962-062A
The final launch in the 1962 series of 2MV probes was 2MV-3 No. 1, a planned Mars lander. During ascent, a pressurization system problem in the core stage caused cavitation in its turbopumps, and the resulting rough ride shook loose the igniter connection in the Blok L main engine, preventing its operation.
