Auto Credit Based on KirRu's OUTDATED Salyut-2/3/5 "Almaz -1/2/3" stations

part of Salyut programme

The Almaz program was a highly secret Soviet military space station program, begun in the early 1960s.

Three crewed military reconnaissance stations were launched between 1973 and 1976: Salyut 2, Salyut 3 and Salyut 5. To cover the military nature of the program the three launched Almaz stations were designated as civilian Salyut space stations.

Boom


Salyut 2 failed shortly after achieving orbit, but Salyut 3 and Salyut 5 both conducted successful crewed testing. Following Salyut 5, the Soviet Ministry of Defense judged in 1978 that the time and resources consumed by station maintenance outweighed the benefits relative to automatic reconnaissance satellites.

This stations have Information return capsule(KSI)


Lock retrograde before deorbit and activate spining engines at 85km

inflate parachute at 1/10 slow mo, or it will get you to hyperspace


!!! because of the bugs capsule can't float, so land it only on ground
