Cosmonautics. The Truth about Salyut-7 (2017)

The release of the feature film "Salyut-7" caused a new surge of interest in cosmonautics.

The Salyut-7 station was sent into orbit in 1982, when only the USSR had experience in building such structures and working with them.

In the winter of 1985, the temporarily uninhabited Salyut stopped responding to commands from Earth.

Despite the high risks, it was decided to still try to approach the station, but this required joining forces with the military and working out the rapprochement scheme in more detail.

Since the station could not react, in fact, it was necessary to dock with an absolutely uncontrollable object, no one had ever done anything like this in space before.

Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh went to Salyut-7 in the summer, repaired it for three months, by September the station came to life again and began receiving crews.

It was another victory of the Soviet space heroes.
