  Salyut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Salyuts were all relatively simple structures consisting of a single main module placed into orbit in a single launch.
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 4 Space Station   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The Salyut 4 station was launched in December, 1974 and was the second station devoted to primarily civilian objectives.
The Salyut 4 station was very similar to the Salyut 1 station, with the addition of three rotatable solar arrays.
Salyut 4 was designed to remain on orbit for up to 60 days and had an extensive scientific complement.

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).

Salyut 4 (DOS-4) was the second DOS station to be manned and the first completely successful civilian space station.
The next DOS station, Salyut 4, had the basic systems of Salyut 1, but now three large solar panels were mounted on the central body of the space station.
Salyut 6, the third DOS/civilian station, took the Salyut 4 design and now included a second docking port on the rear of the station, and redesigned the propulsion unit.

The Salyut 4 X-ray instrument, often called the Filin telescope, consisted of four gas flow proportional counters, three of which had a total detection surface of 450 cm² in the energy range 2-10 keV, and one of which had an effective surface of 37 cm² for the range 0.2-2 keV.
Ground based calibration of the detectors was considered along with in-flight operation in three modes: inertial orientation, orbital orientation, and sruvey.
Data could be collected in 4 energy channels: 2-3.1 keV, 3.1-5.9 keV, 5.9-9.6 keV, and 2-9.6 keV in the larger detectors.

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.

Since the spacecraft was already in orbit and had been registered by Western radar, the Soviets disguised the launch as "Cosmos 557 " and quietly allowed it to reenter Earth's atmosphere and burn up a week later.
Only one of the three intended crews successfully boarded and manned the sation, brought by Soyuz 14; Soyuz 15 attempted to bring a second crew but failed to dock.
Although it resembled the previous Salyut stations in overall design, it featured several revolutionary advances including a second docking port where a unmanned Progress cargo spacecraft could dock and refuel the station.
