The '''Salyut programme''' (Russian: Салю́т, sɐˈlʲut, meaning "salute" or "fireworks") was the first [[space station]] programme, undertaken by the [[Soviet Union]]. It involved a series of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations over a period of 15 years, from 1971 to 1986. Two other Salyut launches failed. In one respect, Salyut had the task of carrying out long-term research into the problems of living in space and a variety of astronomical, biological and Earth-resources experiments, and on the other hand the USSR used this civilian program as a cover for the highly secretive military [[Almaz]] stations, which flew under the Salyut designation. [[Salyut 1]], the first station in the program, became the world's first crewed space station.
The Salyut programme was the precursor to Mir (and hence ISS). They were launched atop a [[Proton K]] and visited by [[Soyuz TMA|Soyuz]]. Salyut 7 was also visited by a TKS tug.

The Salyut programme (Russian: Салю́т, sɐˈlʲut, meaning "salute" or "fireworks") was the first space station programme, undertaken by the Soviet Union. It involved a series of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations over a period of 15 years, from 1971 to 1986. Two other Salyut launches failed. In one respect, Salyut had the task of carrying out long-term research into the problems of living in space and a variety of astronomical, biological and Earth-resources experiments, and on the other hand the USSR used this civilian program as a cover for the highly secretive military Almaz stations, which flew under the Salyut designation. Salyut 1, the first station in the program, became the world's first crewed space station.

The Mir core module in both Mir and the ISS are still visibly related to the Salyut stations.
