As preparations were being made for the highly visible ASTP mission planned for launch in the summer of 1975, the Soviet Union quietly continued with a series of Soyuz missions to a succession of Salyut space stations as they gained much needed first-hand experience about how to live and work effectively in space. Get breaking space news and the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more! Soyuz 18a (hoặc Soyuz 18-1, Soyuz 7K-T No.39, April 5 Anomaly) là một tàu vũ trụ Soyuz có người lái không thành công của Liên Xô năm 1975. Read our complete coverage below.

Spacecraft commander Skvortsov occupied the center seat of the Soyuz TMA-18 with Kornienko on his left and Caldwell Dyson on the right. Following a one-day solo flight Soyuz 18 docked with Salyut 4 on May 25, 1975.

At the time, when the safety system initiated separation the spacecraft was already pointed downward toward Earth, which accelerated its descent significantly.

They arrived in two Tu-134 air planes.

As the escape tower was long gone by this point, the abort had to be performed with the Soyuz's own engines. The deep snow, the high altitude, and the terrain meant the rescuers had great difficulty in making contact with the cosmonauts.

[4] The total of seven people in space tied the record set by the Soyuz 6, Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8 flights of 1969.

Marking the end of Expedition 24, Skvortsov, Kornienko and Caldwell Dyson successfully undocked their Soyuz TMA-18 at 02:32 UTC on 25 September 2010 from the Poisk docking port on the Zvezda module. Once the American ASTP crew landed 24 July 1975, the Soviets had a near six-year monopoly on crewed space flights until the launch of the first space shuttle, STS-1, on 12 April 1981. Roscosmos to Complete Soyuz Accident Investigation This MonthRussian space agency Roscosmos has announced that its investigation into the failed launch will be complete by Oct. 30, although it's not clear whether the results will be available to the public. [5] The capsule landed on a snow-covered slope and began rolling downhill towards a 152 m (499 ft) sheer drop before it was stopped by the parachutes becoming snagged on vegetation.

The Soyuz craft was activated on 24 July 1975 and the crew returned to Earth two days later, on 16 July 1975. [5] Autonomous tests of the Soyuz TMA-18 crew vehicle systems were also successfully completed at the Baikonur Cosmodrome and the integrated tests of the rocket commenced at site 254.

Integration of the second stage and pneumatic tests of the first stage's units were performed on 16 March 2010. Pyotr Klimuk and Vitaly Sevastyanov set a new Soviet space endurance record of 63 days and the mark for most people in space simultaneously (seven) was tied during the mission.

But just a few minutes after liftoff, an issue with the Soyuz's rocket — also called Soyuz — triggered an emergency landing, which both crewmembers survived in good condition.

[14] But Russian engineers were unable to resolve the problem with the docking mechanism and the undocking attempt was called off.

Prior to the launch systems testing and integration of the rocket and spacecraft had been underway for several months.

The Soyuz spacecraft remained docked to the space station for the remainder of Expedition 24 to serve as an emergency escape vehicle. [15] At that time, the International Space Station was orbiting at 350 km (220 mi) above over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan.
(There was even a United States congressional inquiry regarding this failure and several others.

After about 1 hour 45 minutes spent in Soyuz on pre-transfer activities, hatches were opened at 07:21 UTC and the crew transferred to the ISS.

NASA Astronaut Nick Hague Thanks Rescuers, Supporters After Soyuz Rocket Launch AbortIn his first public statement since the failed launch, the NASA astronaut aboard thanked the quick response to the emergency. [11], On 4 April 2010, three minutes ahead of schedule, Soyuz TMA-18 successfully docked to the Poisk module on the ISS at 05:25 UTC.

The capsule landed southwest of Gorno-Altaysk at a point 829 km (515 mi) north of the Chinese border. The original mission of Soyuz 1 and Soyuz 2 was ultimately achieved by Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5. Filling station (site 31) was prepared for further tanking of the Soyuz propulsion system by propellant components ad pressurized gases.

[16], Flight carrying astronauts to the International Space Station. NASA Astronaut Nick Hague 'Rolls with Punches' After Harrowing Soyuz Launch FailureIn his first interviews after the launch failure, NASA astronaut Nick Hague described what it was like to return to family and friends, and what's next for his space station dreams. Safety Panel Fears Soyuz Failure Could Exacerbate Commercial Crew Safety ConcernsThe U.S. still lacks its own human-rated launch vehicle. First manned spaceflight abort. Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor, Sputnik / Yuzhny SC / Roscosmos, Russia Will Start Making New Soyuz-5 Rocket Next Year, Progress Space Centre's Director Says. After 9 minutes, the Soyuz spacecraft settled into a preliminary orbit of 230 km × 190 km (140 mi × 120 mi).

The specific pattern present on the Soyuz solar panels is particularly well done.
