On April 19, 1971, the Soviet Union launched the world’s first orbital scientific station Salute. It was a spacecraft of a new type that permitted automatic and man-assisted comprehensive scientific research under conditions of long duration flight.
Salute was a family of manned orbital stations of the USSR. The collective name Salute was given to orbital stations that were placed into orbit in the framework of the Long-term orbital station civil program.
From 1973 to 1986, six other orbital stations named Salyut were launched where Soviet and foreign cosmonauts worked. A great variety of scientific experiments were conducted in space, and a cosmonauts’ life support system was elaborated out. The design of Salyut stations made the basis for construction not only of long-term orbital stations, but also of the Mir orbital complex and the Russian segment of the International Space Station.

The postcard provides a symbolic image of a carrier vehicle being launched into space; the main image features the world’s first orbital scientific station Salute.
