www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30510 Unarmed prototype filled with scientific equipment was created around 198 5 and launched 15 May 1987. It was failed to start operations and with t he fall of Soviet Union project was scrapped. My father personally participated in this project (he also worked on Mir and International Space Station projects) and he was very dissapointed w ith this failure as i remember. As for Mir and ISS stations i can tell a lot of interesting stories. One thing i can tell you - Energia Corp now workin on Mars mission. Subdivision where my father worked now d eveloping autonomous life supporting facilities solutions for expedition . |
