Card No. 31: Soyuz

1966

The three-part spacecraft – used to develop space station techniques – comprise a spherical experiment compartment, a re-entry module and a rocket-powered service module.

The experiment compartment, as well as allowing men to perform scientific and technological experiments (e.g. vacuum welding under weightlessness in Soyuz 6), can be separately de-pressurized to form an airlock allowing cosmonauts to emerge into space.

After docking two men transferred from Soyuz 5 to Soyuz 4 in orbit returning to Earth in a different craft.
