Soyuz 7 was part of a joint mission with Soyuz 6 and Soyuz 8 that saw three Soyuz spacecraft in orbit together at the same time, carrying seven cosmonauts.
The crew consisted of commander Anatoli Filipchenko, flight-engineer Vladislav Volkov and research-cosmonaut Viktor Gorbatko, whose mission was to dock with Soyuz 8 and transfer crew, as the Soyuz 4 and 5 missions did.
Soyuz 6 was to film the operation from nearby.

During that time, two cosmonauts 'space walked' from Soyuz 4 to Soyuz 5, becoming the first spacefarers to return to Earth in a different spacecraft from the one in which they went into space.
In October 1967, it was the turn of Cosmos 186 and Cosmos 188, and the spring of 1968 saw Cosmos 212 and Cosmos 213 repeat the exercise.
Soviet technologists needed to continue Soyuz development, but at the same time, it had not been rated for crew operations in the wake of Soyuz 1 - hence the Cosmos flights.

 Soyuz-TMA 1 - 8 (7K-STMA, 11F732)
The modified Soyuz TMA manned spacecraft has been developed on the basis of a Soyuz TM spacecraft in accordance with intergovernmental agreements between Russia and the USA and is an integral part of the International Space Station (ISS) Complex.
The basic modifications of the Soyuz TM spacecraft are connected with implementation of requirements for enlargement of crew anthropometric parameter range up to the values acceptable for the American astronaut contingent, and with increase of crew protection level from shock loads by decreasing landing speeds and improving shock-absorption of its chairs.
For implementation of the above requirements on the baseline Soyuz TM spacecraft the following basic modifications in layout, design and onboard systems of the descent module (DM) were made without increase of its dimensions:

 Soyuz 6 - Definition, explanation
Soyuz 6 was part of a joint mission with Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8 that saw three Soyuz spacecraft in orbit together at the same time, carrying seven cosmonautss.
The crew of Georgi Shonin and Valeri Kubasov were meant to take high-quality movie photography of Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8 docking but the rendezvous systems on all three spacecraft failed.
But unlike the call signs of Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8, this was not the name of a squadron in Soviet military training, of uncertain role, for the one that begins with the letter 'a' is Aktif, meaning 'Active'.

This was the last time that the Soviet crewed Moon landing hardware was tested in orbit, and the failure seems to have been one of the final nails in the coffin of the programme.

The constant flow of Soyuz and Progress craft into space seemed endless at the time and Salyut 6 saw the busiest programme of space flights ever as a steady stream of replacement craft went into space to support longer and longer stays aboard the station.

 The flight of Soyuz-4 and Soyuz-5
But after the flight of Soyuz 3 the "chief designer" (now known to be V.P Mishin) told reporters that the next mission would involve the docking of two Soyuz craft and that "we are already prepared for a new launch" (2).
Soyuz-4 (spacecraft #12) was launched from launch complex 31 at Baikonur on Tuesday, 14 January 1969 at 0730 UT (11) with cosmonaut Vladimir Shatalov on board.
The launch time of a Soyuz is 11-12 minutes after the virtual equator crossing, giving a launch time of 0730-0731 UT, in good agreement with the figure 0730 given by Nikolai Kamanin in his diaries.

Moscú- La nave Soyuz TMA-1, en la que el domingo regresaron a la Tierra los tres astronautas de la sexta expedición que habitó la Estación Espacial Internacional, sufrió al tomar tierra una notable desviación de su trayectoria prevista originalmente.
La Soyuz se desvió 440 kilómetros de su punto de caída previsto, y no los 20 kilómetros admitidos en un principio por las autoridades rusas.
La nave Soyuz aterrizó en la estepa de Kazajastán, a más de 400 km del lugar previsto, debido a un descenso llamado "balístico" tras el fallo del vuelo pilotado.
