The idea of the film, based on real events to save the Salyut 7 orbital station, belongs to television journalist Alexei Samoletov, specializing in space issues. Jean-Loup was indeed on the backup crew of the STS-51-G flight of Space Shuttle Discovery that was launched 11 days after the start of Soyuz T-13 on June 17, 1985. [1] It was first crewed in May 1982 with two crew via Soyuz T-5, and last visited in June 1986, by Soyuz T-15. Enter the Space & Beyond Box Photo Contest! The meeting was also attended by cosmonauts Vladimir Dzhanibekov, Viktor Savinykh and Oleg Skripochka, the head of the Roscosmos by Igor Komarov and the daughter of the first cosmonaut Elena Gagarina. After contact with the Salyut 7 space station is lost, cosmonauts Vladimir Fyodorov and Viktor Alyokhin attempt to dock with the empty, frozen craft to bring it back to life.[4]. The 2023 Downed UFO Wave Over North America Just What Is Going On? Salyut 7 has an approval rating of 100% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 12 reviews, and an average rating of 6.83/10.[5]. However, due to funding cuts for future Salyut 7 missions, the collapse of the soviet union and the and the nonappearance of the Buran shuttle, the stations orbit gradually decayed, and in 1991, three years earlier than intended, the last Salyut broke up during and uncontrolled re-entry over south America. Auditory hallucinations happen when you hear voices or noises that don't exist in reality. Retrieval at a future date by a Buran shuttle was also planned. [9], However, unexpectedly high solar activity in the late 1980s and early 1990s increased atmospheric drag on the station and sped its orbital decay. Although this incident happened over thirty years ago, in cosmic terms, that is but a millisecond. 27.03 - MU Plus+ Podcast - The Old Switcheroo, 27.04 - MU Plus+ Podcast - High-Res Healing, 29.06 - MU Podcast - Italian Disco Abductions, The Mysterious Men in Black and Their Equally Weird Cars, Lab-Grown Human Mini Brains Are Being Developed for Biocomputers, Strange Accounts of Dwarf Aliens and their Apocalyptic Messages from Mexico, Unknown DNA Found in a Part of a Chilean Desert Which Looks Like Mars, Shamans, Psychedelics, and One Man's mystical Journey in the Amazon to Find a Miracle Cure. So there you have it. Your email address will not be published. The events were largely the same as the first time they appeared. Attired in winter fur-lined clothing, they entered the station to conduct repairs. By methodically moving through a series of hatches, paying careful attention to equalize the pressures at each step, Dzhanibekov and Savinykh finally reached the work area of Salyut 7. To protect the inside of the windows, they were covered with removable glass panels. For these reasons, the names of the main protagonists have been changed. Modified orbital station Salyut-7 was designed for a longer period of operational use (up to 5 years) than its predecessors. They connected them to the solar panels, and by using the Soyuzs thrusters, they moved the entire station to properly align it with the Sun. To avoid the station's loss and damage to national prestige, the USSR sent two cosmonauts, Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, to resurrect Salyut 7 in June 1985. After carefully working through the Salyuts electrical systems, the cause of the power loss was eventually pinpointed to a single sensor, on one of the batteries. Following the docking of the Soyuz T-12 with the Salyut 7 on 17th July, five days after the strange sighting, three more cosmonauts Vladimir Dzhanibekov, Svetlana Savitskaya, and Igor Volk boarded the space station. Subscribe Today! Dzhanibekov piloted his ship to intercept the forward port of Salyut 7 and matched the station's rotation. On October 4, 2017, a pre-premiere screening of the film was held in the cinema hall of the State Kremlin Palace, which became the main event of the gala evening dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the launch of the USSR's first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik 1. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); document.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); [] HISTORY | howandwhys | marcianitosverdes []. In a series of spacewalks, cosmonauts conducted two in-orbit repairs and a later repair with a special tool delivered by ground resupply. We publish books on both Kindle and paperback. This malfunctioning sensor was designed to stop the batteries from overcharging. To support experiments in cultivating plants in space, several different plant life support systems were installed: Oasis 1A, Vazon, Svetoblok, Magnetogravistat, Biogravistat and Fiton(Phyton)-3. Maybe we are not out of the apocalyptic woods just yet! Indeed, it was while the world witnessed a major Soviet propaganda victory in the space race that these events played out quietly in the background. }); Subscribe to our newsletter to get our newest articles instantly!

Director Klim Shipenko Writers Aleksey Samolyotov (idea) Aleksey Chupov Natasha Merkulova Stars Vladimir Vdovichenkov Pavel Derevyanko Aleksandr Samoylenko But the military space station, Almaz, had also recently been cancelled, without its final mission taking place. The Salyut 7 would end up staying in orbit for a total of 8 years and 10 months, which up until that time was the longest such a station had ever remained in continuous orbit. Based on actual events. The only launch of Challenger concurrent Soyuz T-13 was STS-51-F launched on July 29, 1985; well after the Soyuz T-13 crew had completed their primary emergency repairs. Space is often touted as the last frontier, the final wilderness that we have yet to tame or understand, and in many ways this is very true. Dzhanibekov and Savinykh trained extensively on new protocols developed for the planned docking with the lifeless Salyut 7. The rescue of Salyut 7 has sometimes been compared to the ill-fated flight of Apollo 13: both missions involved dead and freezing spacecraft that put human lives at risk, and both missions succeeded thanks to extensive coordination between astronauts/cosmonauts and ground controllers. Bas sur des faits rels. As the Soyuz approached more closely, it appeared that the solar panels were misaligned: the electrical systems had completely failed. That plot possibly originates in a similar theory set forth by The Battle for Salyut: A Space Detective, a Russian documentary that was created by a media branch of Roskosmos. The backup hardware for the Salyut program could be used and a series of missions were planned for the station that would become known as Salyut-7. One that exists in the universe and that can manifest itself in many different ways. In 2018, the picture was awarded the Golden Eagle (Film Award, 2018) prize for Best Film and Best Film Editing; Nika (Film Award, 2018) awards for Best Cinematography and Nika nominations for Best Feature Film. **Our intentions are aimed towards a fairer, more transparent world and a better future for everyone. According to producer Bakur Bakuradze, the authors of the script relied on the diaries of Viktor Savinykh, that talk in detail about the entire expedition, but "its difficult for a person who does not know the subtleties of the space theme to understand all the details. For that, I credit Nickolai Belakovski for his article "The little-known Soviet mission to rescue a dead space station" which can be found on the Ars Technica website. Although there is no hard conclusive science to back it up any more than your standard UFO or alien theory, the Salyut 7 incident was chalked up by most to a mass-hallucination. This was hailed by the Soviets as the first launch of a communications satellite from a manned space vehicle, before NASAs planned launch of two heavy geostationary satellites from the Shuttle later that year. Howandwhys brings you the most extraordinary stories that happen in the universe. After watching Salyut-7 which I found well made, well acted, human and tense, I wanted to know the true story. DOS-6, short for Durable Orbital Station[1]) was a space station in low Earth orbit from April 1982 to February 1991. While STS-51-F had the largest launch inclination of these three shuttle missions at 49.5 degrees, it is unlikely the Challenger would have been able to rendezvous with Salyut 7, which was at a 51.6 degree inclination. The premiere of the full (two-hour) version of the film took place on August 18, 2017 at the opening of the V Russian short film festival In short in the city of Kaliningrad. [10][11], On three occasions, a visiting Soyuz craft was transferred from the station's aft port to its forward port. Still, both missions showcase the incredible fortitude humans are capable of even while under extreme duress when they have the proper support, guidance, and determination to succeed. Claims that two Challenger missions (STS-41G in October 1984 and STS-51B in April-May 1985) approached Salyut-7 are equally unfounded. The colour scheme was improved and a refrigerator was installed. it appeared that there was perhaps something more going on beyond simple hallucinations. Nor was there any suggestion, or reason to suggest, that the incident was a collective lie by the Soviets. [1] Supporting spacecraft included the Soyuz T, Progress, and TKS spacecraft.[1]. Three months into its third year above the planet, the mission had begun to experience a multitude of system failures. The fault was eventually found to be an electrical sensor that determined when the batteries needed charging. [1] Out of nowhere a strange but bright orange cloud, seemed to envelop the entire space station. The first task aboard the new station was to launch a 28-kilogram (61 lb) amateur radio satellite from the trash airlock. This was also the day that the group reported strange lights and beings. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. At first, they believed there must have been an explosion and consequently the orange glow was, in fact, a fire. Abandoning Salyut-7 had its own risks, because nobody could predict what the capricious computers might do. So, in the summer of 1978, Vladimir Kovalyonok and Alexander Ivanchenko, who went into space, noticed an undefined spacecraft flying under the orbital station as if observing the cosmonauts. The ceiling on the Salyut 7 was white; the left wall was apple green and the right one beige,[4][5] a signature design by interior design architect, Galina Balashova, who carried on the concept through Soyuz to Mir and Buran, in an effort to replace 'survive' with 'comfort', working with seasoned cosmonauts to make living conditions better and 'closer to home'. Although the mission to dock with and repair Salyut-7 was extremely dangerous and challenging, the movie stretches the truth in a number of ways. They were floating above the Earth and swimming through the eternal ocean of space. [1] This operation forms the basis of the 2017 Russian film Salyut 7.

With delays to the Mir programme it was decided to launch the back-up vehicle as Salyut 7. The mission directive was to ensure that Savitskaya would complete a successful spacewalk before the Americans. placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails', Marcus Lowth is a writer with a love for UFOs, aliens, and the Ancient Astronaut Theory, to the paranormal, general conspiracies, and unsolved mysteries. Creator and presenter of Curious Droid Youtube channel and website www.curious-droid.com. We hope to challenge issues which have captured the publics imagination, from JFK and UFOs to 9/11. The Salyut 7 stayed in orbit for 8 years and 10 months. There were approximately 20 windows with shades on the Salyut 7. The work was performed by Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh on the Soyuz T-13 mission during June 1985, in what was in the words of author David S. F. Portree "one of the most impressive feats of in-space repairs in history". With handheld air quality tests, they quickly checked for carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases that could indicate a fire onboard. According to the cosmonauts on board the Salyut 7, huge angel-like manifestations were present outside their craft. The video below is a light-hearted look at some of the better-known predictions of the end of the world and life as we know it. Then, ground control would command the station itself to rotate 180 degrees, and the Soyuz would close and re-dock at the forward port. It was aloft for eight years and ten months (a record not broken until Mir), during which time it was visited by 10 crews constituting six main expeditions and four secondary flights (including French and Indian cosmonauts). The station began to drift, doing unpredictable movement on orbit, and all systems shut down. This was a major achievement: but significant danger lay ahead. **The conspiracy subreddit is a thinking ground. Fortunately, the stations rotation rate was manageable. It was in Fiton-3 that Arabidopsis became the first plants to flower and produce seeds in the zero gravity of space. In the spring of 1993, video footage was made showing the movement of a luminous flying vehicle. Instead of deorbiting the lab, a decision was made to boost Salyut-7 to a higher.

A central part of the film's plot is the idea that NASA was conducting a mission to recover the disabled Salyut 7 to steal Soviet secrets with Space Shuttle Challenger, returning the station to Earth inside the shuttle's cargo bay. Above all else, we respect everyone's opinions and ALL religious beliefs and creeds. Again the reports spoke of these strange glowing angel-like creatures seemingly being aware of the crew even smiling at them. There hovering in space in front of the space station were what the crew would describe as seven enormous winged humanoid beings estimated as being around 90 feet in height and with calm, smiling faces, and it was from these bizarre entities that the ethereal light was apparently emanating. This was to be attempted by the next crew, the current one lacking the necessary training and tools. It had two docking ports, one on either end of the station, to allow docking with the Progress unmanned resupply craft, and a wider front docking port to allow safer docking with a Heavy Cosmos module. In 1985 one of the most audacious space rescue missions was launched by the Soviets to recover a space station that had been dead for months due to an unknown fault. While this was unfolding, however, behind the scenes the mysterious angels returned. window._taboola = window._taboola || []; You may not republish the article in its entirety.

To understand how to move in a state of weightlessness, how the body behaves, it was necessary to feel weightlessness. Vladimir saw how the UFO became transparent, inside which there was a jet engine that had no artificial origin. On 11th February 1985, telemetry reported a huge electrical surge, knocking out radio transmission from Salyut. The payload was ejected, and the crew was recovered safely. Incidentally, she achieved this eight days after docking with the Salyut 7, on 25th July 1984. container: 'taboola-right-rail-thumbnails', Salyut-7 could help make this a reality, by testing out new hardware and training cosmonauts. " : ! The film was released in Russia on October 12, 2017 by Nashe Kino in RealD 3D.[3]. On one occasion even going as far as to encourage people to euthanize their pets to avoid their suffering. _taboola.push({ It involved a series of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations over a period of 15 years, from 1971 to 1986. In the fall of 1990, astronauts saw a certain silvery ball in the Earths atmosphere. The Space Race of the 1960s and 70s was measured in a growing of competitive record-breaking missions. Baffled by what they had all just seen, the three cosmonauts had a heated discussion on what the beings were and what rational explanation could account for it, but they could come up with nothing. Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing. It covers strange, mysterious, unexplained, and astonishing news. Newest comments appear first, oldest at the bottom. The engineers had to come up with an entirely new set of docking techniques. The first crew on Mir travelled in the Soyuz to Salyut, to collect and transfer valuable equipment: the only time a station-to-station crew transfer has taken place to date. There have also been all sorts of claims that everyone from NASA to world governments, to the Illuminati and even the Vatican itself know the truth about the existence of these space angels, and that it is all being covered up and kept from the public, with conspiracy theorists routinely producing photographs from space stations and the Hubble Telescope that purportedly show photographic evidence of such entities. Activity Log Whats more, they also claim they are here to announce the end of the world. He's written articles for MU and Daily Grail and has been a guest on Coast to Coast AM and Binnal of America. Considering the original news reports of the phenomenon have been quietly relegated to the background and are only really discussed on Internet forums by people who have noticed just how outlandish the story is, we may never know for sure. This time all six of the cosmonauts witnessed them together. placement: 'Right Rail Thumbnails', It did not carry a recovery vehicle, and remained connected to the station for use by the crew of Soyuz T-14. The damage was eventually repaired by Leonid Kizim and Vladimir Solovyov, who needed four EVAs to fix two leaks. At two points during his spaceflight aboard the Vostok-1, Gagarin inexplicably went silent and lost contact, and when he was asked about it later he was not sure what had happened, thinking he may have just briefly lost consciousness. At this point they would witness probably the last thing they had expected to see out there. These humanoid creatures had distinctive wings, and faces that housed a peaceful expression! They even projected overall feelings of peace and tranquillity among the crew members. Various theories have developed over the years, ranging from the reasonable all the way to the outrageous (depending on perspective). According to commander Oleg Atkov and cosmonauts Vladmir Solovyov and Leonid Kizim, the space station was completely bathed in a mesmerizing orange light. It is however sometimes difficult to extract the exact events from the hearsay in such cases. Salyut 7 was the most advanced and most comfortable space station of the Salyut series. In more recent years with the rise of the Internet, the story has spread much further. Salyut-7 launched aboard a Proton rocket on 19th April 1982, and on May 13th the first crew launched to rendezvous, beginning a mission that would last a record-breaking 211 days.

Salyut, variously translated as salute or firework, was a Soviet program that ran from 1971 to 1986 and included the worlds first space station, Salyut 1. Our motto always is, "you make up your own mind". We take care of filtering profanity as much as we can. I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods. The short video below looks at the sightings of the Soviet cosmonauts. Once the batteries were replaced, the station started charging them, and warmed up over the next few days. However Jean-Loup did not fly on STS-51-G, instead with fellow French astronaut Patrick Baudry onboard. Was this hallucinations seen by all of these crew members? Even as recently as 2008, an anonymous spacecraft operator from the Kennedy Space Center stated he witnessed a large alien standing in the payload bay of a space shuttle. The authors of the film chose material that allowed them to remain true to the facts. Internally, the Salyut 7 carried electric stoves, a refrigerator, constant hot water and redesigned seats at the command console (more like bicycle seats). Salyut had previously been supplied using the Progress spacecraft, a derivative of Soyuz that still travels to the International Space Station today. The Kingman UFO Crash A Discreet Downed UFO That Slipped Under The Radar? As the cosmonauts opened the hatches to equalise air pressure with the station, they felt a rush of freezing air.

These were both physical and mental in nature. Ground controllers switched Salyut 7 to its backup transmitter, which seemed to solve the problem at least for a bit. First, there is no way such maneuvers could have gone undetected at the time and, second, orbital mechanics simply made them impossible. Marcus has been Editor-in-Chief for several years due to his excellent knowledge in these fields. NASA indeed planned to send the Challenger or the Discovery to take photos of the drifting station, and retrieval was considered, but all these plans were dropped because they didn't want to provoke the Soviets, particularly not in the interregnum shortly after Konstantin Chernyenko's death, not knowing how firmly has the new Premier, Mikhail Gorbachev is sitting in his chair. Aliens were flying in space again, smiling and giving calmness. When the Salyut mission was concluded and the cosmonauts returned to Earth, their strange experiences were allegedly covered up and swept under the carpet by the Soviet government, and the witnesses told in no uncertain terms that they were never to discuss what they had seen up there. Salyut-7 launched aboard a Proton rocket on 19th April 1982, and on May 13th the first crew launched to rendezvous, beginning a mission that would last a record-breaking 211 days. It was the eighth space station of any kind launched. While it is a stretch admittedly that this might be the case, it is an interesting point to consider. When ground operators attempted to bring the transmitters back online, a second surge swept through the station, knocking out radio receivers as well. Last chance to join our 2020 Costa Rica Star Party! Based on actual events.

Firmly attached to Salyut 7, the cosmonauts' next task was to see if the station could be revived. The series of events that occurred on the Salyut 7 do not answer this question, but, rather, compel us to consider the possibility that there are "others" in this universe that, in the most dire of times, manifest in ways that force us to question the very foundation of our beliefs as well as our place in the cosmos. One way or another, people will find out about it in the future. Salyut 7 (Russian: -7; English: Salute 7) (aka DOS-6) was a space station in low Earth orbit from April 1982 to February 1991. They helped engineers develop technology necessary to build Mir. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. All passed these examinations and procedures convincingly. Why are there no photographs of this incident? Investigation proved this not to be the case. Our latest book, Historys Most Bizarre, Outlandish, And Controversial UFO And Alien Encounters contains over 60 encounters. }); window._taboola = window._taboola || []; The Americans never launched any of their Space Shuttles to Salyut. Filming lasted several months with great physical exertion. Making matters worse, the interior of the station rapidly lost heat, eventually reaching a frigid, yet stable, temperature of about -4 degrees. Suddenly Salyut-7 was out of contact, with no way of diagnosing what might have gone wrong. The crew thought it might be hallucinations or fatigue from hard work. Auditory hallucinations have many possible causes. Working tirelessly, and under the harshest of harsh conditions, Dzhanibekov and Savinykh astonishingly resuscitated all of Salyut 7 in just 10 days. We do not sell, rent or trade our email lists. The first task aboard the new station was to launch a 28-kilogram (61 lb) amateur radio satellite from the trash airlock. And despite world events as they are in the early twenty-first century, dont appear to be completely imminent. It is perhaps worth bearing in mind, however, the following. And by using an optical rangefinder, Dzhanibekov manually nestled the Soyuz near Salyut 7, linking the two craft at the forward docking port. Workers in the TsUP (the Soviet version of NASAs Mission Control) noted that an overcurrent had tripped a circuit breaker, which shut down the station's primary long-range radio transmitter. [6][7] Externally, in a departure from previous first generation stations, the large diameter operations section which housed the large scientific apparatus, was colored in a distinctive brown-red and white stripe pattern. Salyut 7 went silent. Does this story have any credibility at all or is he just a loon? See production, box office & company info.

"The #Salyut 7 Incident - Space Hallucinations, Or The Watchers? But this case was confidential. Dressed in winter clothing, the cosmonauts slowly went through the process of opening the three hatches that stood between them and the dark living area of the station. And on June 6, 1985, the pair launched aboard Soyuz T-13. On June 6th 1985 the rescue mission launched, and orbited for two days until it caught up with Salyut-7. According to the cosmonauts on board the Salyut 7, huge "angel-like" manifestations were present outside their craft. February 14, 2021 | Full Review. Ten Soyuz T crews operated in Salyut 7. The first strange sighting occurred on 12th July 1984. Perhaps more seriously, hallucinations have been associated with the breakdown of crew coherence and space mission stress. The short video clip below features Icke explaining this theory in more detail. In February 1985, after hosting three cosmonaut crews (including one that stayed for 237 days, a record at the time), the vacant Salyut 7 space station started to experience trouble. All Soviet and Russian space stations were equipped with automatic rendezvous and docking systems, from the first space station Salyut 1 using the Igla system, to the Russian Orbital Segment of the International Space Station using the Kurs system. It finally underwent an uncontrolled reentry on 7 February 1991 over the town of Capitn Bermdez in Argentina after it overshot its intended entry point, which would have placed its debris in uninhabited portions of the southern Pacific Ocean.
