3MV-4 No. 4 became the second named AMS `Venera', or Venera-2. It was launched on 1965 Nov 12. It flew past Venus on 1966 Feb 27 but did not return useful data due to communications problems. The Venera-2 launch was the first to use the new 51.8 degree parking orbit inclination that became standard for all subsequent deep space missions.
