Launch: 20 April 1979 , from Baykonur Cosmodrome's LC-81P, by a  Proton 8K82K. 
Orbit: N/a
Decayed: 20 April 1979
Mission: On 20 April 1979, LVI-4 VA (VA s/n 103 and s/n 008) was awaiting launch. The booster ignited, but then shut down on the pad. This triggered the launch escape system, which pulled the top capsule away from the booster. The parachute system failed and the capsule crashed to the ground. The lower capsule remained in the rocket. The top capsule was to have been manned, but the inability to demonstrate two consecutive failure-free launches of the Proton/TKS-VA combination made that (luckily) impossible. (Proton booster could be reused with new payload.) LVI-4 test was orbited a month later as Cosmos 1100 and 1101. The pair launched were the 102P/102L twins from LVI-3.
