Salyut 7

Part of Almaz Family

Kosmos 1267/Salyut 7
Kosmos 1267 / Salyut 7. This detailed painting was the first revelation in the West of the configuration of the TKS spacecraft.

Russian manned space station, launched 1982-04-19. Salyut 7 was the back-up article for Salyut 6 and very similar in equipment and capabilities. However the crews were able to conduct significant military experiments due to the greatly increased volume and payload of the TKS modules diverted from the cancelled Almaz program that docked with the station.

AKA: 11F715; 17KS s/n 126; DOS-6. Status: Operational 1982. First Launch: 1982-04-19. Last Launch: 1982-04-19. Number: 1 . Thrust: 3.92 kN (881 lbf). Gross mass: 19,824 kg (43,704 lb). Unfuelled mass: 18,624 kg (41,058 lb). Specific impulse: 305 s. Height: 14.40 m (47.20 ft). Span: 17.00 m (55.00 ft).

Cancellation of the Almaz military station and delays in the Mir project led to the decision was taken in the late 1970's to fly the back-up to DOS-5 / Salyut 6. This was launched as Salyut 7 in 1982. The opportunity was taken to continue to fly 'guest cosmonauts' from friendly countries on short visits to the stations, although emphasis was placed on military experiments.

Salyut 7 was aloft for four years and two months, during which time it was visited by 10 crews constituting 6 main expeditions and 4 secondary flights (including French and Indian cosmonauts). A total of 22 cosmonauts visited the station, five of them twice and one three times. From two to six crew were aboard at any one time. 11 Soyuz T and 15 Progress spacecraft made a total of 25 dockings and 3 redockings. Mission durations of 211 and then 237 days were achieved, during which 13 EVA's were conducted during 861 total days of piloted flight. Due to various technical problems, Salyut 7 was much less productive a space station than Salyut 6.

On 19-22 August 1986 the station was moved to a 474 km x 492 km orbit, which was expected to take a very long time to decay. Retrieval at a future date by a Buran shuttle was planned. However much greater than expected solar activity resulted in it returning to earth much more rapidly than expected.

Due to various technical problems, Salyut 7 was much less productive a space station than Salyut 6. Equipment aboard Salyut 7 included a Unitary Propulsion/RCS Systems, Kurs Rendezvous/Docking System, 24 hr hot water, and a food refrigerator. Experimental Equipment included the Kristal materials processing furnace; EFO-7 star electrophotometer; an Improved Oasis plant growth unit; an Aelita cardiovascular diagnostic unit; a French echography ultrasonic medical system; and a Korund semiconductor materials furnace. Military experiments conducted with equipment delivered aboard TKS modules included observations of ground aerosols; ABM intercept detection and tracking equipment; naval exercises; and laser pointing/tracking hardware tests.

The manned ferry to the station was the Soyuz T, derived from the still-born Soyuz 7K-S military version of Soyuz which began development in 1968. Station resupply was by Progress, an unmanned logistics modification of the Soyuz that replaced the crew re-entry vehicle with propellant tanks. Large TKS modules from the cancelled Almaz program docked with Salyut 7 for major military experiments. From 17 July 1984 Soyuz could be launched with 200 kg additional mass thanks to use of Tsiklin propellant in the Soyuz-U2 booster.

Second Soviet replenishable long-duration ‘civilian’ space station. Objectives: Continuation of scientific research on board manned space complexes in the interests of science and the Soviet national economy; testing of advanced systems and apparatus for orbital stations. Continuation of the scientific research in progress on board manned space complexes in the interests of science and the national economy; testing of advanced systems and apparatus for orbital stations. Although of the same design as Salyut 6, technical breakdowns throughout its life made Salyut 7 a much less productive station. Replaced finally by Mir. Two different TKS resupply craft, originally designed for the Almaz military station, docked with Salyut 7 to provide a larger complex. With the cancellation of Almaz, a large proportion of the experiments carried out on board had military objectives. As of January 1990 out of fuel, unable to manoeuvre, uncontrolled re-entry expected in three to four years. Re-entered in 1991 with 70 kg fuel remaining over Argentina. Controllers attempted to control impact point (set for Atlantic Ocean) by setting Salyut 7/Kosmos 1686 assembly into a tumble. This however failed and Salyut 7 re-entered February 7, 1991 04:00 GMT. Many fragments fell on the town of Capitan Bermudez, 25 km from Rosario and 400 km from Buenos Aires, Argentina. At 1 am local time the sky was lit up with hundreds of incandescent meteors travelling from Southwest to Northeast. At dawn the inhabitants discovered numerous metal fragments, which seemed to have fallen in distinct groups at various locations in the city. Luckily no one was hurt in the metallic shower.
