1964 January 25 - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. FAILURE: Failure. State trials missile test Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 0 km ( mi).

1964 February 19 - 15:15 GMT - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. Kura state trials missile launch Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 906 km (562 mi).

1964 February 27 - 02:30 GMT - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. FAILURE: Failure. State trials missile test Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 0 km ( mi).

1964 May 23 - 04:59 GMT - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. FAILURE: Failure. Kura state trials missile launch Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 870 km (540 mi).

1965 March 5 - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. FAILURE: Second stage propellant leak led to a fire in the silo. First attempted launch of Fractional Orbital Bombardment System booster. Mass: 1,700 kg (3,700 lb). Spacecraft: OGCh. Agency: RVSN. A fire broke out during fuelling and the rocket exploded, seriously damaging the launch pad at Area 67.

1965 December 16 - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. LV Model: R-36-O . R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 1L OGCh No. 01L Mass: 1,700 kg (3,700 lb). Spacecraft: OGCh. Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 200 km (120 mi). First suborbital test of the FOBS system. Impacted within specification CEP in target zone.

1966 February 5 - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. LV Model: R-36-O . R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 02L OGCh No. 02L Mass: 1,700 kg (3,700 lb). Spacecraft: OGCh. Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 200 km (120 mi). Second suborbital test of the FOBS system.

1966 March 17 - 22:00 GMT - Launch Vehicle: Tsiklon. LV Model: R-36-O . R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 03L OGCh No. 03L Mass: 1,700 kg (3,700 lb). Spacecraft: OGCh. Agency: RVSN. Apogee: 0 km ( mi). Last of three suborbital flight tests of the FOBS system. The second stage of the booster placed the third stage and dummy warhead on a depressed trajectory with a range of 8500 km but an altitude of only 220 km (versus 800 to 1200 km for an optimum ballistic trajectory). The third stage than executed a 180 degree turn and its engines were fired to further brake the warhead to an impact on the Kamchatka peninsula. The second stage meanwhile continued on to reentry over the Pacific Ocean.
