Space Flights Descriptions
Soyuz 7K-L1 Flight 1
(Cancelled)
Planned first Soviet circumlunar space flight
Cancelled after the success of Apollo 8 orbiting the Moon
Soyuz Kontakt 2
(Cancelled)
Proposed Crew for a flight to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system
Soyuz Kontakt 2 was the passive spacecraft of the second pair of Soyuz spacecraft that was planned to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system in Earth orbit. By December 1970, two docking missions were planned to follow the Salyut 1 space station missions. Soyuz Kontakt 2 would have been the docking target for the Soyuz Kontakt 1 spacecraft.
Soyuz (DOS 2) 12
(Cancelled)
Proposed Backup Crew for the first planned flight to the Salyut DOS 2 space station
Cancelled after the space station was destroyed during launch
Soyuz (DOS 2) 13
(Cancelled)
Proposed Prime Crew for the second planned flight to the Salyut DOS 2 space station
Cancelled after the space station was destroyed during launch
Soyuz Kontakt P
(Cancelled)
Proposed Prime Crew for the final flight to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system
The final dual Soyuz mission to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system in Earth orbit was scheduled for early 1973. Soyuz Kontakt P would have been the passive spacecraft, simulating the LK lunar lander.
Soyuz (DOS 3) 12
(Cancelled)
Proposed Backup Crew for the first planned flight to the Salyut DOS 3 (Cosmos 557) space station
Cancelled after the space station failed in orbit
Soyuz (DOS 3) 13
(Cancelled)
Proposed Prime Crew for the second planned flight to the Salyut DOS 3 (Cosmos 557) space station
Cancelled after the space station failed in orbit
1. Soyuz 12 Manned test flight of Soyuz 7K-T
Soyuz 17
(Backup Crew)
First mission to Salyut 4
2. Soyuz 18-1(A) Aborted space flight to the Salyut 4 Space Station
The third stage failed to separate from the second stage but the third stage still ignited causing a tumble. The Soyuz spacecraft had to separate and make an emergency landing in the Altai mountains. The crew was recovered alive.
Soyuz 26A
(Cancelled)
Proposed Backup Crew
Planned mission to the Salyut 6 space station with the first docking with the rear port cancelled after Soyuz 25 failed to dock with Salyut 6's forward port. The crew would have been the first crew to swap spacecraft and return in the Soyuz 25 spacecraft.
3. Soyuz 27 Salyut 6 Visiting Expedition EP-01 Crew
