Kosmos 434 (Russian: Космос 434; meaning Cosmos 434) was the final unmanned test flight of the Soviet LK Lander. It performed the longest burn of the four unmanned LK Lander tests. It finished in a 186 km by 11804 km orbit. This test qualified the lander as flightworthy.The LK was the only element of the Soviet manned lunar programs that reached this status. In 1980-81 there were fears that it might carry nuclear fuel.
