Vladimir saw how the UFO became transparent, inside which there was a jet engine that had no artificial origin. The station began to drift, doing unpredictable movement on orbit, and all systems shut down. NASAs announcement in 1983 that they would make astronaut, Kathryn Sullivan the first woman to complete a spacewalk began things. In February 1985, after hosting three cosmonaut crews (including one that stayed for 237 days, a record at the time), the vacant Salyut 7 space station started to experience trouble. In the end, although they had all seen exactly the same thing, they chalked it up to the stresses and rigors of being in space for so long, resigning themselves to the explanation that their minds had simply been playing tricks on them. We do not sell, rent or trade our email lists. In space. When ground operators attempted to bring the transmitters back online, a second surge swept through the station, knocking out radio receivers as well. Retrieval at a future date by a Buran shuttle was also planned. After some time, there were two explosions due to the contraction and expansion of the apparatus. In June 1984, on its 155th day in orbit, the three crew members of the Salyut 7 suddenly reported a bright orange light around the space station. The problem with this explanation is that six seasoned, experienced cosmonauts all saw the same thing at the same time, and all of them were given clean bills of mental and physical health afterward, making it seem rather unlikely that this could all be in their heads. Salyut 7 operations from 1984 to 1986 are discussed in Chapter 2. To maintain a presence in Low Earth Orbit, the Soviet Space Agency took the decision to fly one more single-launch station, thats a small space station that can be lifted into orbit completely in one launch. I dont know of anything that can make this movement tightening, then expanding, pulsating. Soviet engineers realized they had only two options: abandon Salyut 7 or mount a rescue mission. Although the air supply was safe they were limited to just one crew member at a time working in the station because with no circulation systems working, the carbon dioxide from the crew members own breath could build up to dangerous levels. juin 1985. **Our intentions are aimed towards a fairer, more transparent world and a better future for everyone.

These humanoid creatures had distinctive wings, and faces that housed a peaceful expression! They even projected overall feelings of peace and tranquillity among the crew members. It involved 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. While most Western space enthusiasts remember the American Skylab space station, only some recall the long series of Soviet orbiting labs called the Salyut space stations. Perhaps even more so when many alien and paranormal investigators consistently speaking of a connection between energy and strange phenomena. In April of 1982, the Soviet Union launched its ambitious Salyut 7 space station as part of the Soviet Salyut Programme, which started in 1971 and had the aim of eventually sending up a total of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations. Suddenly Salyut-7 was out of contact, with no way of diagnosing what might have gone wrong. By methodically moving through a series of hatches, paying careful attention to equalize the pressures at each step, Dzhanibekov and Savinykh finally reached the work area of Salyut 7.

Last chance to join our 2020 Costa Rica Star Party! But, in essence, the Soyuz's dance partner was giving it the cold shoulder. The instruments and walls were covered with a fine layer of frozen moisture a picturesque scene that belied the severe risk of an electrical short. Then, ground control would command the station itself to rotate 180 degrees, and the Soyuz would close and re-dock at the forward port. On 9 September 1983, during the stay of Vladimir Lyakhov and Alexander Alexandrov, while reorienting the station to perform a radiowave transmission experiment, Lyakhov noticed the pressure of one fuel tank was almost zero. At least do a little bit of research and you would have found that. According to a Russian documentary program made in 2012, the Americans considered trying to capture Salyut-7 in the Space Shuttles cargo bay and bring it back to Earth. This was done to accommodate upcoming Progress shuttles, which could only refuel the station using connections available at the aft port. Therefore, some things had to be simplified, and some, on the contrary, strengthened, adapted for our understanding." Although Salyut couldnt be scooped up and carried back to earth, it was far too valuable to just abandon. Although there is no hard conclusive science to back it up any more than your standard UFO or alien theory, the Salyut 7 incident was chalked up by most to a mass-hallucination. So one crew member stayed in the Soyuz to monitor the one working in the station. Kovalyonok, on Salyut-6, again collided with an unidentified object in 1981.

[6] Jean-Loup Chrtien who flew on both Franco-Soviet and then later Franco-American space missions, serves as the inspiration for the French astronaut sent on the American mission to recover Salyut 7 in the film. Soviet spacecraft usually depended on an automated docking system, but that relied on computers aboard both vessels being in constant communication with each other. A set of modifications to the interior made it more liveable. There were approximately 20 windows with shades on the Salyut 7. Hearing this, the Soviets immediately set their sights on such an achievement. Ground controllers switched Salyut 7 to its backup transmitter, which seemed to solve the problem at least for a bit. }); Subscribe to our newsletter to get our newest articles instantly! With the upcoming Mir, the Soviets planned to do more than had ever been possible with single-launch stations.

During a long, slow approach to the station, Dzhanibekov and Savinykh noticed that Salyut's solar arrays were no longer aligned with each other or the Sun, further confirming the severity of the damage. Fortunately, cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov had previously performed a manual docking with the (then-functioning) Salyut 7, which was partly why he was chosen to head the rescue mission; cosmonaut Viktor Savinykh would accompany him. Then something happened that is very difficult for me to describe from the point of view of physics, Kovalyonok said.

It also seems rather implausible that a group of six highly trained, well-respected cosmonauts would get together and make up such a story as a hoax. Also, every Soyuz reentry takes place on land - although Soyuz craft are designed to land in water in an emergency, there was no plan to splashdown in the Indian Ocean as the English dub of the film suggests. power losses and even whole crew hallucinations. The engineers had to come up with an entirely new set of docking techniques. For months in 1985, the 16-metre (50-foot) long station drifted, silent and out of control. Was this hallucinations seen by all of these crew members?

The Salyut 7 would end up staying in orbit for a total of 8 years and 10 months, which up until that time was the longest such a station had ever remained in continuous orbit. The only launch of Challenger concurrent Soyuz T-13 was STS-51-F launched on July 29, 1985; well after the Soyuz T-13 crew had completed their primary emergency repairs. In a series of spacewalks, cosmonauts conducted two in-orbit repairs and a later repair with a special tool delivered by ground resupply. View our Privacy Policy. Looking through the windows, the cosmonauts noticed several unknown creatures about 30 meters tall, who were flying through space, while smiling. However Jean-Loup did not fly on STS-51-G, instead with fellow French astronaut Patrick Baudry onboard. While this was unfolding, however, behind the scenes the mysterious angels returned. The repair and reactivation of the station by Soyuz T-13 is the subject of the 2017 Russian historical drama Salyut 7. This was hailed by the Soviets as the first launch of a communications satellite from a manned space vehicle, before NASAs planned launch of two heavy geostationary satellites from the Shuttle later that year. The cosmonauts performed an analysis of the air quality aboard the station, confirming it was breathable, and opened the porthole shades to allow sunlight to help warm the station. Sergey Astakhov, who is known not only as a cameraman, but also as a master in terms of difficult shooting techniques, was invited to design and control complex shooting devices. Considering the original news reports of the phenomenon have been quietly relegated to the background and are only really discussed on Internet forums by people who have noticed just how outlandish the story is, we may never know for sure. Mir, the state-of-the-art orbital facility in development, was delayed and still six years from launch. The last to be launched in the program and a precursor to the Mir space station, the Salyut 7 was the 10th space station ever put into orbit by mankind, and was designed to serve as a sort of test of a new system of modular space stations, which entailed the ability to attach new modules to expand the station or adapt it to whatever functions were required, as well as an outpost for various off-planet experiments. In the spring of 1993, video footage was made showing the movement of a luminous flying vehicle. On October 4, 2017, a pre-premiere screening of the film was held in the cinema hall of the State Kremlin Palace, which became the main event of the gala evening dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the launch of the USSR's first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik 1.
