experienced 21 failures. The 8K78M was a generally reliable vehicle with most failures caused by the Block L and no Block I's malfunctioned on a launch after 1968. There was only a single failure of the first two stages, which occurred in 2005 on one of the last 8K78Ms flown. That 21 June, an attempted launch of a
Molniya satellite from Plesetsk went awry. The launch went entirely according to plan until T+298 seconds when the Block I shut down after just eight seconds of operation. The launcher, which was at an altitude of 180 km (111 miles), reentered the atmosphere, broke up, and impacted near the town of

coincidence, this happened simultaneous with the scheduled Block A staging at T+290 seconds, but the shock from the pump disintegration prevented the separation command from being sent. Block I ignited while still attached to Block A but the dead weight of the spent core stage dragged it off course and the AVD system, sensing the improper flight trajectory, issued an automatic shutdown command.

The core and strap-ons received the up-rated 8D74M engines and the Kosberg Bureau completely redesigned the Block I stage. The Block L engine was also slightly enhanced. The first six 8K78Ms built used

engines which were shared with the Soyuz booster. Molniya boosters flown after the adaption of the new 11A511U core in 1973 used the improved 11D511 first stage engines. While 11A511U cores flown on other R-7 vehicles switched to a shorter instrument packet, the
Molniya continued using the old "long"

The original 8K78 booster had been the product of a rushed development program and its launch record was no better than the 8K72 Luna booster of 1958β1960. As 1962 ended, there had been 12 launches of 8K78s, ten of which failed (five Block L failures, four Block I failures, and one failure caused by
