Soyuz 15 (Russian: Союз 15 Union 15) was a 1974 manned space flight which was to have been the second mission to the Soviet Union’s Salyut 3 space station with presumably military objectives.Launched 26 August 1974 the Soyuz spacecraft arrived at the station but cosmonauts Lev Dyomin and Gennadi Sarafanov were unable to dock because of a fault in the automated docking system. Without sufficient fuel for prolonged attempts at manual docking the mission had to be abandoned.
