  Salyut 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salyut 5 was launched on June 22, 1976 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard a Proton 8K82K rocket.
Structurally similar to Salyut 3, it had a total mass of approximately 18-19 tons.
Salyut 5 reentered on August 8, 1977 after fuel reserves were depleted and the planned Soyuz 25 mission was no longer possible.

Salyut 3 was launched on June 25, 1974.
Salyut 5 was launched on June 22, 1976.
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
Spacecraft: Salyut 1, Soyuz 7K-LOK, LK, Almaz OPS, Soyuz OB-VI, Soyuz VI.
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.

 Space Station
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.
Mir was based upon the Salyut series of space stations previously launched by the Soviet Union (seven Salyut space stations had been launched since 1971).

 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)

On February 11, 1985, as Salyut 7 was flying unmanned, a ground controller accidentally cut off communications with the station.
Salyut 7 was in working order by the beginning of 1986, while at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, processing crews were preparing a new station for launch.

The Salyut was in orbit at 343 * 387 km.
The Salyut's water tanks had also begun to thaw by this time, supplying the crew with 200 liters in one tank, and almost 200 in the other water tank which the cosmonauts were warming by turning that side of the Salyut into the sun often.

 Salyut 2 -- The Soviets' Name Game With Stations
So when Almaz was lifted into the orbit on April 3, 1973, it was disguised as "Salyut 2." Legend has it that an embittered Chelomei ordered that the name "Salyut" be painted on the section of the station which connected to the launch vehicle but then was discarded immediately after the spacecraft reached the orbit.
Despite the failure of Salyut 2, the Soviet space station campaign in the spring of 1973 continued on May 11 with the launch of DOS 3, just three days before the U.S. space station Skylab took off from Cape Canaveral.
The station was equipped with custom-built solar arrays, which unlike panels borrowed from Soyuz on the previous stations, could actually track the sun, increasing the supply of power to the spacecraft.

On Sept 29 1977 Salyut 6 was launched and one of its crew set a new continuous record in space by going on for 185 consecutive days.
Salyut 7 suffered many problems such fuel line damage and accidental cut off of ground control while the station was unmanned, despite this the problems were resolved and a new record in space was set of 237 days.

 Blazing Satellites: Guns in Space!
Virtually no information was available about the military Salyuts until recently, when access was opened up to a full-scale training model at the Moscow Aviation Institute.
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.
