Spacecraft
Soyuz 7K-L1 No.5 (Soyuz 7K-L1 #5)
The Soyuz 7K-L1 "Zond" spacecraft was designed to launch men from the Earth to circle the Moon without going into lunar orbit in the context of the Soviet crewed Moon-flyby program in the Moon race. It was based on the Soyuz 7K-OK.
- Destination: Circumlunar flyby
- Mission length: under an hour
The Soyuz 7K-L1 spacecraft hard landed after its launch escape system was triggered due to a second stage failure and premature firing of the landing thrusters. It was subsequently dragged 550 meters by its parachute.
