It remains just one more anomaly on perhaps a whole road of anomalies just waiting for us as we delve ever deeper into the reaches of our universe. Two portholes were designed to allow ultraviolet light in, to help kill infections. Modified orbital station Salyut-7 was designed for a longer period of operational use (up to 5 years) than its predecessors. In 2018, the picture was awarded the Golden Eagle (Film Award, 2018) prize for Best Film and Best Film Editing; Nika (Film Award, 2018) awards for Best Cinematography and Nika nominations for Best Feature Film. [2] Others go further, claiming that the Vatican is not only aware of these beings, but are involved in covering them up. This video was filmed by cosmonaut Musa Manarov, who wanted to capture the docking of the cargo compartment. Receive news, sky-event information, observing tips, and Dzhanibekov piloted his ship to intercept the forward port of Salyut 7 and matched the station's rotation.

Hearing this, the Soviets immediately set their sights on such an achievement. The events were largely the same as the first time they appeared. Does this story have any credibility at all or is he just a loon? So what in the world did the cosmonauts of the Salyut 7 see? The film was released in Russia on October 12, 2017 by Nashe Kino in RealD 3D.[3]. Kovalyonok, on Salyut-6, again collided with an unidentified object in 1981. At least do a little bit of research and you would have found that. Launched in April 1982, the Salyut 7 Space Station locked into Earths orbit soon after. Both radio transmitters (primary and backup), as well as the stations radio receivers, ceased to work. Could hazardous space weather threaten NASAs Artemis program? So might the angels that the crew of the Salyut 7 witnessed in 1984 have been such a warning? 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. And despite world events as they are in the early twenty-first century, dont appear to be completely imminent. And on June 6, 1985, the pair launched aboard Soyuz T-13. It was the eighth space station of any kind launched. Suffice it to say, Salyut-7 is very much a work of fiction and, to be fair, was not intended to be taken as a true depiction of events. Mir, the state-of-the-art orbital facility in development, was delayed and still six years from launch. Salyut 7 was the most advanced and most comfortable space station of the Salyut series. Based on actual events. 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. View our Privacy Policy. Then, ground control would command the station itself to rotate 180 degrees, and the Soyuz would close and re-dock at the forward port. The station was dark. He further added: I have to recognize that it did not have an artificial origin. Salyut 7 on Pluto TV | Documentaries | 2hr | At the height of the Cold War, a Soviet space station spun out of control. [12], Specifications of the baseline 1982 Salyut 7 module, from Mir Hardware Heritage (1995, NASA RP1357):[1], (Launched crews. The initial crew consisted of Soviet cosmonauts, Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovyov and Oleg Atkov (who served as a cardiologist). In orbit the station suffered technical failures though it benefited from the improved payload capacity of the visiting Progress and Soyuz craft and the experience of its crews who improvised many solutions (such as a fuel line rupture in September 1983 requiring EVAs by the Soyuz T-10 crew to repair). According to the crew members, the humanoids were flying at the same speed as the station for 10 minutes. Instead, the only solution was to send up a Soyuz with a two-man crew consisting of Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Victor Savinikh to dock manually with Salyut-7 and attempt a rescue. See production, box office & company info. This malfunctioning sensor was designed to stop the batteries from overcharging. To feed this hunger, cosmonauts spent longer and longer in their capsules, on spacewalks and then, inhabiting manned space stations. They were perfectly sound of body and mind. Abandoning Salyut-7 had its own risks, because nobody could predict what the capricious computers might do. The video below is a light-hearted look at some of the better-known predictions of the end of the world and life as we know it. The most rational and scientific answer is that these cosmonauts experienced what they had suspected in the beginning, which is some sort of mass hallucination or madness brought on by the demanding stresses, fatigue, and the harsh conditions of space. Salyut-7 launched aboard a Proton rocket on 19th April 1982, and on May 13th the first crew launched to rendezvous, beginning a mission that would last a record-breaking 211 days. The Kingman UFO Crash A Discreet Downed UFO That Slipped Under The Radar? The backup hardware for the Salyut program could be used and a series of missions were planned for the station that would become known as Salyut-7. Often dismissed as a group hallucination, the highly strange event was witnessed again by 3 more cosmonauts that joined the spacecraft later that summer. This is a forum for free thinking, not hate speech. A copy of the TsUP and the Cosmonaut Training Center was created with life-size models of Salyut-7 and Soyuz T-13. With handheld air quality tests, they quickly checked for carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases that could indicate a fire onboard. Neither the crew nor ground control knew what had caused the station to go dark, or what lay in wait for them inside. Howandwhys brings you the most extraordinary stories that happen in the universe. 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. Certainly ranking among these mysteries is a curious close encounter between some of the first people in space and, well, something else. Upon arrival, on 6 June 1985, the Soyuz crew found the station was not broadcasting radar or telemetry for rendezvous, and after arrival and external inspection of the tumbling station, the crew estimated proximity using handheld laser rangefinders. Salyut 7 was part of the transition from monolithic to modular space stations, acting as a testbed for docking of additional modules and expanded station operations. it appeared that there was perhaps something more going on beyond simple hallucinations. A specially constructed shooting pavilion was located in a suburb of Saint Petersburg, as the Lenfilm premises were not able to accommodate everything needed. The Salyut programme ( Russian: , IPA: [slut], meaning "salute" or "fireworks") was the first space station programme, undertaken by the Soviet Union. But this case was confidential. 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. Although this incident happened over thirty years ago, in cosmic terms, that is but a millisecond. The story is based on the Soyuz T-13 mission in 1985, part of the Soviet Salyut programme; it was the first time in history that a 'dead' space station was docked with, and brought back into service. 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. In the Soviet media, new achievements were needed to justify the expense of the space programmes, and bolster national pride. mode: 'thumbnails-rr', They were floating above the Earth and swimming through the eternal ocean of space. Biology, nature, and cryptozoology still remain Brent Swancers first intellectual loves. [2] Aside from the many experiments and observations made on Salyut 7, the station also tested the docking and use of large modules with an orbiting space station. " : ! First, there is no way such maneuvers could have gone undetected at the time and, second, orbital mechanics simply made them impossible. We take care of filtering profanity as much as we can. The first strange sighting occurred on 12th July 1984. The payload was ejected, and the crew was recovered safely. To avoid the station's loss and damage to national prestige, the USSR sent two cosmonauts, Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, to resurrect Salyut 7 in June 1985. It did not carry a recovery vehicle, and remained connected to the station for use by the crew of Soyuz T-14. 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. In the presence of an extraterrestrial race, astronauts felt calm and serenity. A special tool to fix the third leak was delivered by Soyuz T-12, and the leak was subsequently fixed.[8].

Water was also a problem, the crew had 8 days supply in the Soyuz. It covers strange, mysterious, unexplained, and astonishing news. Marcus has been Editor-in-Chief for several years due to his excellent knowledge in these fields. Over time the batteries ran flat and soon the whole station went dead, unable to communicate with the ground or function at all. DOS-6, short for Durable Orbital Station[1]) was a space station in low Earth orbit from April 1982 to February 1991. But later that year, two cosmonauts risked their lives to revive the radio silent space station. Although the incident did make the international news, there was no real seriousness in the reports the incident soon forgotten. It began to slowly tumble. But as its orbit decayed, accelerated by solar activity, Salyut 7 eventually burned up over South America on February 7, 1991. Suddenly Salyut-7 was out of contact, with no way of diagnosing what might have gone wrong. Ten Soyuz T crews operated in Salyut 7. However, the evidence disappeared after the events were declassified. . STS-51-I also flew concurrent to the Soyuz T-13 mission. At this point they would witness probably the last thing they had expected to see out there. This is almost a by-product to the constant opportunism of some alternative media sites. As before, after several minutes of encircling the space station, they peacefully disappeared into the vastness of space. In reality, Soviet mission control considered doing the same thing with the unfinished Buran orbiter and found it would be impossible. 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.
