Saljut 4/Sojus 17 to Sojus 20 and ASTP (Sojus 19)

Saljut 4, the fourth russian Orbitalstation was launched on 16 of december 1974.

This Orbitalstation was more constructed for civil purpose and less for miltary observations.

Sojus 17 was the first mission which docked at the station and the crew stayed nearly 30 days there.

After Sojus 17, only two more Sojus spaceships visited the Orbitalstation, Sojus 18B and Sojus 20 which was unmanned.

On 3 of february 1977, after 12.188 orbits the Orbitalstation Saljut 4 entered the atmosphere and burned during this step as calculated.
