3MV-4 No. 6 was the final 3MV series launch, intended to be a Venera-4 Venus flyby mission. At the end of ascent one of the four third stage combustion chambers exploded. The fourth stage failed to operate and the probe remained in Earth orbit. The 3MV-4 space probe and the Blok-L stage remained attached and were given the cover name Kosmos-96.
