	Salyut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite its successful launch, within two days the as-yet-unmanned Salyut 2 began losing pressure and its flight control failed; the cause of the failure was likely due to shrapnel piercing the station when the discarded Proton rocket upper stage that had placed it in orbit later exploded nearby.
		Salyut 3 was launched on June 25, 1974.
		After Salyut 6 manned operations were discontinued in 1981, a heavy unmanned spacecraft called TKS and developed using hardware left from the canceled Almaz program was docked to the station as a hardware test.

	Salyut
		Salyut 1 was abandoned on Oct. 11, 1971, but several successor stations over the next 15 years helped pave the way for Mir.
		The second Almaz, under the cover name “Salyut 3,” was successfully launched on Jun. 26, 1974, and its inaugural crew, Pavel Popovich and Yuri Artyukhin, docked with the station on Jul. 3 for a stay lasting a couple of weeks.
		The successful Salyut 4 was deorbited on Feb. 3, 1977, bringing the highest civilian honor, “Hero of the Socialist Labor”, to the chief designer of the spacecraft, Yuri Semenov, and one of the assembly technicians, V. Morozov (despite official objections that Morozov was not a member of the Communist Party)

	Salyut 1
		Salyut 1 (DOS 1) was the first Salyut space station, and the first human-made space station of any kind.
		Salyut was moved to higher orbits in July and August of 1971 to ensure that it would not end through early orbital decay.
		Pravda (October 26, 1971) reported that the Salyut tasks were carried out in 75 percent of the cases by optical means, in 20 percent by radio-technical means, and the small balance by magneto-metrical, gravitational, and other studies.

		Salyuts 1 to 5 were considered the first generation of Russian space station technology.
		Salyuts 6 and 7 launched in 1977 and 1982 were a second generation.

		Salyut was originally called "Zarya," but this was changed before launch so there would be no confusion between the station and the ground control call sign of the same name.
		Salyut 6 launched on Sept. 29, 1977 from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Tyuratam, U.S.S.R. It was lofted using a Proton booster and upper stage.
		Salyut 7 was the last of the Salyut space stations and the precursor to the Mir modular space station.

		Salyut 6 allowed the conduct of scientific and technical research and experiments; further testing of station design, on-board system and equipment.
		Salyut 6 was commanded to reentry using Kosmos 1267 propulsion system over the Pacific Ocean on the 29th July 1982.

		Salyut 2 was a cover name gave to the first military space station of Almaz series.
		The core of the pressurized hull was similar to the Salyut one the main differences laid in the propulsion unit, solar panels and the rear docking hatch for Soyuz (instead of the forward one of Salyuts).
		Salyut 2/Almaz 1 career was really short due to a sudden explosion in Space caused by depressurization well before the first crew was launched.

		The Salyut was composed of four modules, with a total length of 48 ft! The four modules were the transfer module (where the docking mechanism was located, as well as the telescope and biology experiments).
		Salyut 2 successfully made it to orbit, but an onboard fire burned a hole in the side, and the modules were depressurized.
		Salyut 4 followed in December of 74 (tried to upstage Skylab which was launched 3 days later).

	Definition of Space station - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Broadly speaking, the space stations so far launched have been of two types; the earlier stations, Salyut and Skylab, have been "monolithic", intended to be constructed and launched in one piece, and then manned by a crew later.
		Starting with Salyut 6 and 7, a change was seen; these were built with two docking ports, which allowed a second crew to visit, bringing a new spacecraft (for technical reasons, a Soyuz capsule cannot spend more than a few months on orbit, even powered down, safely) with them.
		This concept was expanded on Salyut 7, which "hard docked" with a TKS tug shortly before it was abandoned; this served as a proof-of-concept for the use of modular space stations.

	Salyut
		The Salyut name was later applied to both the DOS and Almaz stations, creating the impression in the outside world that they were built by one designer.
		The Salyut station is much more comfortable than the Soyuz, but the mission has revealed it needs many improvements, including: a unit for ejecting liquids from the station; solar panels, and scientific instruments, that can be automatically pointed at the sun or their target and stabilised; an improved control section; better crew rest provisions.
		Salyut 1 was kept aloft to study how the systems behaved over an extended period, in order to identify fixes to improve their reliability on later flights.

	Finding radio signals from Salyut 3 in 1974
		But, just as was the case with Salyut 2, nothing was heard on the typical frequencies used by Soyuz and Salyut 1.
		This meant that any signals from Salyut 3 would only be audible while over the horizon in Stockholm, and there were almost no other stations that could interfere.
		Salyut 1 was on 15.008 MHz and 20.008 MHz and used CW-PDM, i.e.

		It attained an altitude of 219 to 270 km on launch and its final orbital altitude was 268 to 272 km.
		It had two solar panels laterally mounted on the center of the station and a retactable recovery module for the return of research data and materials.

		Salyut development began in the 1960s and it became clear to western observers as the program developed that there were distinct civil and military interests.
		The Forward Transfer Compartment, 2 m diameter x 3 m long, was basically an access tunnel with an inner bulkhead enabling it to be sealed off for EVAs from the side hatch; two suits stored here were for the shared use of all visiting crews.
		On Salyut 6 it was widened to the same 4.15 m diameter as the working compartment to take a second docking port.

		The Salyut series is a series of space stations sent by the Soviet Union to orbit between 1971 to 1991.
		Salyut 7 was actually placed in a higher orbit in order to remain in space for a longer period, but due to an increase in solar activity, the space station crashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, unlike its predecessors, who crashed down into the Pacific Ocean.
		They launched Salyut 2 in 1973 probably because they heard of the US's plans of launching the first Skylab station.

	Long Duration Spaceflight
		The second space station, Salyut 2, was launched in April 1973; but suffered a catastrophic explosion, which tore the solar panels, the docking apparatus, and the radio transponder from the craft and left it tumbling in a low-Earth orbit.
		The mission was primarily military, but crewmembers did use a treadmill for 2 hours a day and were able to climb from their descent module without assistance.
		It was continuously manned with Russian and International crews beginning in 1990 until it reentered the Earth's atmosphere on March 23, 2001 as a result of both natural orbit decay and a sequence of three braking burns commanded by the Russian Mission Control.

	Blazing Satellites: Guns in Space!
		Pavel Popovich, commander of the July 1974 Soyuz 14 flight to Salyut 3, is said to have indicated that the cannon was installed on Salyut 3 but "fortunately he was not forced to use it".
		A Salyut 5 crew member denies the existence of a cannon on that station, so perhaps the wisdom of outfitting a space station with a cannon was rethought, or maybe, the U.S. having had no manned spaceflight capability between 1975 and 1981, low Earth orbit was deemed insufficiently target-rich to justify such weaponry.
		In March 1965, due to failure of the prime retro-rocket system, the crew of Voskhod 2 landed in a remote region in the Ural Mountains and rescue crews could not reach them until the next day.
