She performed a space walk lasting 3 hours 35 minutes outside the Salyut 7 space station.

To perform these activities a specially designed URI multipurpose tool was used during a 3 hr, 30 min EVA outside the Salyut 7 space station.

The military stations, Salyut 2, Salyut 3, and Salyut 5, were also known as Almaz stations.

** Salyut 3

He trained in Star City near Moscow for the next two years, and flew on board Soyuz 31 ( launched 26 August 1978 ) to the Soviet space station Salyut 6, and returned on Soyuz 29, landing on 3 September 1978.

The launch took place at 09: 00: 00 UTC on 3 April 1973, and successfully placed Salyut 2 into low Earth orbit.

Salyut 3 (; ; also known as OPS-2 or Almaz 2 ) was a Soviet space station launched on June 25, 1974.

The Salyut 3 station was equipped with a " self-defence " gun, which had been designed for use aboard the station, and whose design is attributed to Nudelman.

Following the last manned mission to the station, the gun was commanded by the ground to be fired ; some sources say it was fired to depletion, while other sources say three test firings took place during the Salyut 3 mission.

Only one manned spacecraft, Soyuz 14, docked with Salyut 3.

Salyut 3 was the first space station to maintain constant orientation relative to the Earth surface.

On July 4, a little over a week after Salyut 3 was launched, the manned spacecraft Soyuz 14 docked with the station, having been launched the previous day.

They were intended to be the second crew to man Salyut 3, but they failed to dock, after their Igla rendezvous system on their Soyuz spacecraft malfunctioned, and they were unable to manually dock.

Due to the amount of time needed to make the changes, and the limited time Salyut 3 had left in orbit due to orbital decay, the next planned mission to the station was cancelled.

The spacecraft which would have been used on the third mission to Salyut 3 was later used for the mission Soyuz 20 to Salyut 4 ( a civilian space station ).

Salyut 4 was deorbited February 2, 1977, and re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on February 3.

Salyut 5 was an Almaz spacecraft, the last of three to be launched as space stations after Salyut 2 and Salyut 3.

The Salyut programme (,, Salute or Fireworks ) was the first space station program undertaken by the Soviet Union, which consisted of a series of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations over a period of 15 years from 1971 to 1986.

These consisted of the unsuccessful DOS-2 in 1972, DOS-3 in 1974, and later the successful Salyut 4, Salyut 6, and Salyut 7.

Its navigation system, made up of the Delta semi-automatic computer to depict the station's orbit and the Kaskad system to control its orientation, was based on that used on Salyut 4, as was its power system, which consisted of a trio of steerable solar panels together producing a peak of 4 kilowatts of power over 51 m².

It carried supplies for the EO-1 crew aboard Salyut 6, which consisted of Soviet cosmonauts Yuri Romanenko and Georgi Grechko.

To enable spacewalks, Salyut 6 was equipped with an inward-opening EVA hatch for on the side of the forward transfer compartment, which could be used as an airlock in a similar way to the system used on Salyut 4.

The Elbrus crew ejected a 28-kg amateur radio satellite from a Salyut 7 trash airlock on May 17, 1982.

While aboard the station, the resident crew afforded him the opportunity to eject Salyut 7's weekly bag of waste into space through the station's small trash airlock.

NPO Energia was responsible for the overall space station, with work subcontracted to KB Salyut, due to ongoing work on the Energia rocket and Salyut 7, Soyuz-T, and Progress spacecraft.

KB Salyut began work in 1979, and drawings were released in 1982 and 1983.

However, Feoktistov continued his outer space engineering work, and he later became the head of the Soviet space design bureau that designed the Salyut and Mir space stations.

The mission paved the way for the Salyut space station missions, investigating the effects of long-term weightlessness on crew, and evaluating the work that the cosmonauts could do in orbit, individually and as a team.

He worked in ground control for the Salyut 6 station before returning to spacecraft design in the 1980s to work on the Buran project.

A new teleprinter was used for communications from the ground crew, freeing the Salyut crew from constant interruptions during their work.

Lebedev remarked in his diary that the attitude control jets were “ very noisy ,” and that they sounded like “ hitting a barrel with a sledgehammer .” Of Salyut 7 during the unpacking of Progress 13, Lebedev said, “ It looks like we ’ re getting ready to move or have just moved to a new apartment .” The following day the Elbrus crew closed the hatch from the work compartment into the intermediate compartment so the TsUP could pump fuel from Progress 13 to Salyut 7.

After arriving at Salyut 7, the crew of Soyuz T-15 therefore conducted two EVAs and collected experiment results, experimental apparatus, and samples of materials to finish the work of the previous crew.

The transfer compartment was equipped with the only docking port of Salyut 1, which allowed one Soyuz 7K-OKS spacecraft to dock.

Upon entering Salyut 6, Ryumin noted that the two viewports in the transfer compartment had lost their transparency.

For Salyut, small modifications had to be made to the docking port of the OPS to accommodate Soyuz spacecraft in addition to TKS spacecraft.

Window impact: On July 27 a small object struck a Salyut 7 viewport.

Salyut 2 was with a diameter of, and had an internal habitable volume of.

The Soviet space program achieved many of the first milestones, including the first living being in orbit in 1957, the first human spaceflight ( Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1 ) in 1961, the first spacewalk ( by Aleksei Leonov ) in 1965, the first automatic landing on another celestial body in 1966, and the launch of the first space station ( Salyut 1 ) in 1971.

It was, on the one hand, designed to carry out long-term research into the problems of living in space and a variety of astronomical, biological and Earth-resources experiments, and on the other hand this civilian program was used as a cover for the highly secretive military Almaz stations, which flew as well under the Salyut designation.

The Salyut living conditions were starting to degrade by July, with the environmental control system failing, windows fogged over and green mold growing on the station walls.
