- Soyuz 7K-T
The second generation of the
Soyuz spacecraft , the "Soyuz Ferry" or "Soyuz 7K-T ", comprisedSoyuz 12 throughSoyuz 40 (1973-1981). Although still using the "Igla" system, these had no solar panels, employing batteries. The replacement of solar panels with batteries limited it to about two days of undocked flight.A modified version of this spacecraft flew on
Soyuz 13 , where instead of the docking system a large Orion 2 astrophysical camera for imaging the sky and Earth was used.Another modification was the "Soyuz 7K-T/A9" used for the flights to the military
Almaz space station. This featured the ability to remote control the space station and a new parachute system and other still classified and unknown changes.Missions
