Salyut 6, also known as DOS-5, stood as a pioneering Soviet orbital space station within the Salyut program. Launched on September 29, 1977, via a Proton rocket, it represented a significant advancement in space station capabilities. It became the first station to host both crewed and uncrewed spacecraft for various purposes, including human habitation, crew transfers, international collaborations, and resupply missions. This station featured innovative elements such as a new propulsion system, the BST-1M multispectral telescope, and two docking ports, allowing simultaneous visits by two spacecraft. This capability enabled extended stays for resident crews, facilitated by short-term visiting crews arriving in newer Soyuz craft and departing in older ones. Salyut 6 hosted a total of six long-term resident crews, alongside ten short-term visiting crews, including international cosmonauts from Warsaw Pact countries participating in the Intercosmos program. The station's success contrasted with earlier failures and limited achievements in the Salyut program, ultimately being de-orbited in July 1982 after almost five years of operation upon the launch of its successor, Salyut 7.
