Salyut-7 with Soyuz T-14 in orbit
Salyut-7 and Soyuz T-14 (left end) in orbit, seen from the departing Soyuz T-13 spacecraft. Salyut- 7 was launched on 19 April 1982. A total of seven crews visited the space station before late 1984, when a power failure lead to the loss of life support functions during an unmanned period. Soyuz T-13 was sent to revive and repair the space station, the task being completed in mid-1985. The final visiting crew, arriving in Soyuz T-14, stayed on board for 64 days. When T-14 arrived, the two crews made the first in-orbit crew transfer; previously one crew had departed before the next arrived. Salyut-7 re-entered the earths atmosphere and broke up on 7 February 1991

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of Salyut-7, accompanied by Soyuz T-14, gracefully orbiting Earth. The image was taken from the departing Soyuz T-13 spacecraft, offering a unique perspective on this historic moment in space exploration. Salyut-7, launched on 19 April 1982 as part of the Soviet manned spaceflight program, served as a crucial outpost for scientific research and human habitation. Over the course of its existence, seven crews had visited the space station before tragedy struck in late 1984. A power failure led to the loss of life support functions during an unmanned period. Enter Soyuz T-13 – sent with a mission to revive and repair Salyut-7. This challenging task was successfully completed in mid-1985, breathing new life into the aging space station. The final visiting crew arrived aboard Soyuz T-14 and stayed onboard for an impressive 64 days. What makes this particular arrival even more remarkable is that it marked a significant milestone: it was the first-ever in-orbit crew transfer between two missions without any overlap. Previously, one crew would depart before another arrived. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Salyut-7 re-entered Earth's atmosphere and broke up on 7 February 1991 after serving humanity faithfully for nearly nine years. This extraordinary photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in exploring outer space while reminding us of
