  • 1965 March 5 - First attempted launch of Fractional Orbital Bombardment System booster. Launch Vehicle: R-36-O. Second stage propellant leak led to a fire in the silo.. R-36O 8K69 A fire broke out during fuelling and the rocket exploded, seriously damaging the launch pad at Area 67.
  • 1965 December 16 - OGCh No. 01L Launch Vehicle: R-36-O. R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 1L Apogee: 200 km (120 mi). First suborbital test of the FOBS system. Impacted within specification CEP in target zone.
  • 1966 February 5 - OGCh No. 02L Launch Vehicle: R-36-O. R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 02L Apogee: 200 km (120 mi). Second suborbital test of the FOBS system.
  • 1966 March 17 22:00 - OGCh No. 03L Launch Vehicle: R-36-O. R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 03L 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.
  • 1966 May 20 19:00 - OGCh No. 04L Launch Vehicle: R-36-O. R-36O 8K69 U22502 No. 04L Possible suborbital test of FOBS booster or failed FOBS test. Not mentioned as FOBS-related in contemporary CIA assessments.
