Salyut 7 space station in orbit

The Salyut 7 space station photographed in orbit. Attached to the space station at bottom, with the separate solar panels, is the Soyuz T14 ferry spacecraft. Soyuz T14 was launched on 17 September 1985 and carried cosmonauts Vladimir Vasyutin, Alexander Volkov and Georgi Grechko to Salyut 7. Their mission was terminated when Vasyutin became seriously ill, and they returned to Earth on 22 November 1985

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Salyut 7 space station gracefully orbiting our planet. The image captures the sheer magnitude and beauty of this remarkable feat of human engineering, as it floats effortlessly in the vastness of space. Attached to the bottom of the space station, we can see the Soyuz T14 ferry spacecraft with its separate solar panels, serving as a vital lifeline for those aboard Salyut 7. Launched on 17 September 1985, this particular mission carried esteemed cosmonauts Vladimir Vasyutin, Alexander Volkov, and Georgi Grechko to their temporary home among the stars. However, fate had other plans for these brave explorers. Tragically, their mission was abruptly terminated when Vasyutin fell seriously ill while aboard Salyut 7. Despite this setback, their unwavering determination prevailed as they safely returned to Earth on 22 November 1985. This photograph not only encapsulates an important moment in history but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond our earthly boundaries. It serves as a reminder of the incredible achievements made by Russian and Soviet programs in manned spaceflight. Science Photo Library has once again captured a truly mesmerizing snapshot that invites us all to marvel at our boundless universe and reflect upon mankind's indomitable spirit reaching for new horizons.
