1967-107A
Spacecraft 5 had originally been prepared for launch as Soyuz-2 during the Soyuz-1 mission. It was recycled for the automatic docking mission and launched as Kosmos-188. 7K-OK No. 5 (Kosmos-188) completed the first Soviet docking with 7K-OK No. 6 (Kosmos-186), only an hour after its launch on 1967 Oct 30. The docking was only a soft docking; a problem later to surface on Soyuz-10 prevented a complete seal.
The ion orientation system was used for deorbit, but locally low ion flux threw ite sensor off and the entry path was shallow and heading for impact east of Ulan-Ude. The APO self destruct system fired 60 km over Irkutsk.
