3MV-1 No. 3 was to test new systems for space probes and was to be launched toward Venus. It reached Earth orbit and the Blok-I third stage separated but the fourth stage control system failed. 3MV-1 No. 3 was given the cover name Kosmos-27; it would have been Zond-1 if successful. The USSR reported that Kosmos-27 `required only one orbit to complete its flight plan'.

STS-41 deployed the Ulysses probe. After a last-minute hold at T-31s launch took place at 1147 UTC on 1990 Oct 6. On Oct 7 the crew executed the OMS-4 burn to phase the orbit for improved landing conditions.
DTO 827, a test of the digital autopilot's ability to operate at high pitch rates, ran into cross-coupling problems and was terminated after 40s after using up 137 kg of RCS fuel.

The first successful satellite in the series was S-055B, which became Explorer 16 on reaching orbit. It carried an array of different kinds of micrometeorite detectors. Launch was on 1962 Dec 16 at 1433 by a Scout X-3 from Wallops into a 750 x 1181 km x 52.0 deg orbit. The satellite successfully measured the penetration rate of small meteoroids. It operated until 1963 Jul 25. In Dec 1993 its orbit was 744 x 1159 km.

The fourth Orbiting Solar Observatory satellite carried an improved set of experiments including an early celestial x-ray astronomy experiment. Launch was at 1558 on 1967 Oct 18 by Delta from Cape Canaveral. It reached a 95.6 min, 546 x 560 km x 33.0 deg orbit at 1610. OSO IV operated until 1972 Feb; it was reactivated in 1974. The satellite reentered on 1982 Jun 15.

The third probe to be launched in the 1962 Venus window was 2MV-2 No. 1, on 1962 Sep 12. As the 8K78 rocket reached orbit and shut down the third stage main engine, a failed LOX cutoff value caused an explosion in one of the four vernier chambers in the 8D715K engine. However, the mission continued as planned until the Blok-L main engine shut down 1s into its burn when the oxidizer pump failed.
