The Soyuz-T (Russian: Союз-T, Union-T) spacecraft was the third generation Soyuz spacecraft, in service for seven years from 1979 to 1986. The T stood for transport (транспортный, Transportny). The revised spacecraft incorporated lessons learned from the Apollo Soyuz Test Project, Soyuz 7K-TM and Military Soyuz.

Russian manned spacecraft. Soyuz T had a long gestation, beginning as the Soyuz VI military orbital complex Soyuz in 1967. Launched 1978 - 1986. AKA: 11F732;7K-ST. Status: Operational 1978. First Launch: 1978-04-04. Last Launch: 1986-03-13. Number: 18 . Thrust: 3.92 kN (881 lbf). Gross mass: 6,850 kg (15,100 lb).

Soyuz T-15 (Russian: Союз T-15, Union T-15) was a crewed mission to the Mir and Salyut 7 space stations and was part of the Soyuz programme. It marked the final flight of the Soyuz-T spacecraft, the third generation Soyuz spacecraft, which had been in service for seven years from 1979 to 1986. [1]

Soyuz T-5 was a human spaceflight into Earth orbit [2] to the then new Salyut 7 space station in 1982. [1] While the Soyuz-T was docked it received visits from the uncrewed Progress 13 resupply spacecraft, and the crewed Soyuz T-6 and Soyuz T-7 .

Inaugurated in 1979, the Soyuz T spacecraft, (T stands for "transport") featured a brand-new motion control system, using a digital computer; a modified propulsion system with an integrated fuel supply system for all engines.

Apr 4, 2021 · The Soyuz-T was a major upgrade over previous Soyuz spacecraft, sporting solid-state electronics for the first time and a much more advanced onboard computer to help overcome the chronic docking problems that affected cosmonauts during space station missions.

Soyuz T: (1979) Soyuz T represents a complete redesign of the Soyuz in the late seventies. Soyuz TM: (1986) Purpose-built for use with Mir and follow-on space stations. Progress M: (1989) Progress ferry with improved avionics/control and solar panels.

Soyuz T-7 was a manned Soviet mission launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome to dock with the Salyut 7 space station. It carried a three-person crew consisting of Svetlana Savitskaya, Leonid Popov, and Alexander Serebrov to the space station and returned the crew of Soyuz T-5 to Earth on December 10, 1982 at 19:03 GMT, 118 km E of Dzhezkazgan.
