  Space Station K-12 Background Information
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.
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 4 (DOS 4) was a Salyut space station launched on December 26, 1974 into an orbit with an apogee of 355 km, a perigee of 343 km and an orbital inclination of 51.6 degrees.
It was essentially a copy of the DOS 3, and unlike its ill-fated sibling it was a complete success.
Salyut 4 was deorbited on February 3, 1977.

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 3 was never manned again, and reentered the atmosphere in January of '75.

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.

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.

Salyut 6 had well exceeded its design lifetime, but the cosmonauts spent 74 days there performing experiments and having guests (fellow cosmonauts, of course).
Salyut 7 suffered a massive fuel leak that almost disabled the station and forced the cosmonauts to make two spacewalks for repairs.

At the same time, the firing caused considerable shaking of the station itself, therefore in-orbit tests of the weapon during manned operations were ruled out.
The crew of the Soyuz-14 spacecraft was composed of veteran cosmonaut Pavel Popovich and a rookie, Yuri Artukhin; it was launched toward the OPS-2 on July 3, 1974.
Legend has it that when the Soviet government forced Chelomei to launch his Almaz space station under the name "Salyut" in order to hide the existence of the "second" space station program in the USSR, the angry chief-designer directed his staff to paint the name "Salyut-3" on the detachable part of the station.

Consisting of a single module weighing 19 tons, Salyut 1 (the name, which means "salute," was chosen to honor the late Yuri Gagarin) offered 3,500 cubic feet of living space that doubled as living quarters and workplace for a trio of cosmonauts.
In June 1974 Salyut 3 successfully reached orbit, but its mission was not scientific: It was the first military space station.
Salyut 7 was also the scene of one of the most remarkable space repair missions ever made.

The Soviet achievement was the result of a courageous change of course for its space program in the 1970s that would turn it away from the moon, creating political and bureaucratic struggle in the process.
In orbit, their spacecraft docked with Salyut, but the docking mechanism on Soyuz was damaged in the process, preventing the crew from ever entering the station.
Though Salyut 1 had to be discarded on October 11, 1971, for the next 15 years the Soviets produced several successor stations up to Salyut 7.

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.

Designed to operate for 3 or 4 years, Mir welcomed and served as home for Russian and international long-duration crews for an amazing 13 1/2 years.
Stop the presses, in February 2000 it was announced that a private company called "MirCorp" had leased the Mir space stations from the Russians and was planning several commercial ventures, including space tourism at a cost of $20 million per "astrotourist" flight.
