Soyuz-T

Crewed Spacecraft

Soyuz-T is a series of Soviet crewed spacecraft, catalogued as type 7K-ST with the designation 11F732, that flew from Baikonur between 1978 and 1986. Gunter's Space Page lists fifteen numbered flights, Soyuz-T 1 to Soyuz-T 15, together with two earlier flights launched under Kosmos names, Kosmos 1001 on 4 April 1978 and Kosmos 1074 on 31 January 1979, and a launch numbered Soyuz-T 10A on 26 September 1983 that is marked as a failure. Every flight went up on a Soyuz-U or Soyuz-U2 rocket, from launch complex 1/5 or 31/6 at Baikonur. The spacecraft carried two deployable fixed solar arrays and batteries. During the Soyuz-T 9 mission one of the arrays stayed stuck after launch and did not deploy. The last listed flight, Soyuz-T 15, launched on 13 March 1986.
