SALYUT Space Station 1:80 scale

The Soviet/Russian Salyut series were the first stations to support extended human activity in space. Prior missions were quick
stunts to achieve a limited objective and quickly return to Earth. The Salyut stations provided more room than space capsules
and were regularly refueled by Progress tankers – modified Soyuz capsules bringing fuel and supplies to the stations. The
Progress tankers also used their rocket engines to maintain and adjust the orbit of the Salyut stations.
The legacy of Salyut continues today with the International Space Station (ISS). The Zvezda core Russian module in the ISS is a
refined and modified Salyut and Progress tankers are still used to ferry supplies to the ISS and re-boost the ISS when needed.
