Saljut 6 was launched on 29 of september 1977 and was until this time the most successful Orbitalstation ever and achieved a lot of records.
20 different Sojus missions visited the Orbitalstation Saljut 6, 19 manned and one unmanned Sojusspacecraft.
Saljut 6 was the first Orbitalstationwith two docking stations so that together with a manned Sojusspacecraft the unmanned Progressspacecraft could be docked at the same time.
The Progressprogram was the unmanned spaceship for deliver materials , fuel , allimentation and private items for the cosmonauts to the Orbitalstation. The first Progressspaceship Progress 1
launhed on 20 of january 1978 and docked one day later at teh station.
On 29 of july 1982 the Orbitalstation was destroyed by burning in the atmosphere.
