- In 1986 the crew of Soyuz T-15 performed a unique mission where they visited 2 space stations and helped move important gear from the old station to the new one. Salyut-7 had unifinished business, Mir was the new hotness, and the crew were able to visit both as part of an extended mission.

It's a pity they couldn't have brought Salyut 7/Kosmos 1686 over and attached it to Mir; that would have been so, _so_ Kerbal.
Now that was one suspiciously specific hypothetical...
The one at 8:40? I was thinking the same thing.
Daniel Bender 8:27 to 8:40
Sounds like Scott should have hired Cosmonauts instead
Sounds like someone made that mistake lol
I was a Mover once as a student job. Would have loved the lack of gravity back then
I bet, you would :)
On a side note, there is no lack of gravity on the station, it is just case of free fall.
I did too. I f*cked my back up which still gives me problems. Lifelong injury at $8/hr. Good times.
@@ivoivanov7407 As long as the floor is falling at the same speed as the furniture it should have worked great ;)
would really have lifted a weight huh?
Vladymir: "Why did I bring these,'THIS SIDE UP', stickers?"
Hehe 😋
maybe "THIS SIDE TOWARDS THE ACCELERATION VECTOR" stickers would serve them right?
Later, somewhere on earth, a Russian rocket technician is unclear which way to mount the guidance module on a first stage due to missing "this side up" sticker and the launch vehicle does a 180 on takeoff.
This was my absolute favorite space mission since I first heard about it. A SPACESHIP WENT FROM ONE SPACE STATION TO ANOTHER, THEN BACK!
It is pretty cool when you think about it.
@Smarticus Like the line from the movie Serenity "We live in a spaceship, dear." I hope it becomes "common," but still something that even in the mundanity of it makes you go "Wow, we're living in. Sci-Fi."
Smarticus It’s the cyborg paradox, but more broad spectrum. You see, cyborgs are always in the future. Today people fret about the issues of high end prosthetics and implanted electronics and the general existential anxiety of that reality. Yet human machine hybrids exist today, have existed for decades at least and centuries or Millenia if you allow for some logical extension of the words definition.
Very basic man/machine hybridization can be considered to begin whenever a human first picked up a tool, indeed the concept certainly predates humans proper by some time as many other animals primates and others use tools.
But that’s to normal to suit most people’s idea of a cyborg, so if we include basic prosthetics we move slightly further into the timeline because those are likely older than recorded history as well.
Permanent or semi permanent augmentation to the human form using technology covers quite a lot of peglegs and hook hands.
But again this is to normal for many so let’s include electronics as the word cyber often relates to high technology and significantly advanced electronics specifically.
Now we are at least within the last century, but not much later than the very works of fiction that popularized the concept!
Total badass

Pavel: What are you doing?
Vladimir: Docking
Vladimir: There's no time for caution!
*It's not possible*
Vladimir: no, it's necessary
*organs intensify*
.... And the next trick....
It better be good !
"They couldn't, hypothetically, put that cooler of frozen food in the downstairs bathroom where the owner would miss it for three days." This is oddly specific, Scott....
lolll
lol
I wonder why Scott included that weirdly specific example of erroneous moving work right after moving, hmm.
Lol the cooler in the downstairs bathroom is hilarious, sounds like you're talking from experience
I'm starting to think he made a whole 10-minute video, just to get in that dig at his moving people.
RIP the Manley family's frozen food...
From recent experience...
@@unvergebeneid "hypothetically"...
Also shows the potential dangers of cryogenic freezing....
2:32 never knew Scott was an Overwatch fan
He also could have just looked up pictures of Zarya and wondered why he has to scroll that far down to see the spacecraft which he then looked up.
@@MrRolnicek I think you're right
@@markmcculfor6113 as far as i can tell he's a bit of a geek. he probably knew about overwatch. you don't need to be a fan to vagky know the chamions especially if its an original champion.
He is into hentai also.
@@nesa1126 You mean the only acceptable type of porn
This is a really great mission story.
It’s a pity that major Soviet space achievements such as this were not known more widely.
Thanks!
I was real happy you mentioned Kosmos 1686, the only TKS spacecraft to be crewed; it'd be really cool if you did a bit more on the TKS, as I never heard of the lunar plan involving it!
Nice insert of the passive aggressive jab at moving company for putting your food in the bathroom 😂
He's just humble-bragging his new digs have a downstairs john.
Wondering how many 7:53 ModelSpaceshipsHandleWithCareFragileThankYou-boxes they dropped?
@Smarticus
I lived in my car for 3 years... sleeping rocked back in the driver's seat of a 2001 Hyundai Elantra 4 door compact sedan under blankets piled when it was cold and finally got housing in 2018 - so a floor on a rug indoors with heat and a shower and toilet just steps away would have been heaven to me.
Though I did have the pleasure of many a sun rise and set and moon rises of all phases alll times of the night while riding out gales hunkered down on the seawall road or waking up in a car buried in snow.
Oh those silent nights watching the planets track overhead.
Did ya ever see the silver sliver just before dawn as the bloody pin prick Mars hangs above and the brilliant Venus aglow in line below all like a diamond dangling from the ear of a fiery-eyed Ethiop
Imma glad itz ova but woodent trayd it fu aneeting in da wuld
You sound great despite the lack of sound proofing.
Right, with my poor setup it hardly sounds different at all
@@jeffbyrd6003 Scott's audio is pretty good most of the time and to be fair he was a DJ at one point. Some free software like voice meter and audacity can be very useful as well as keeping the room quiet and keeping computer fans as far from the mic as possible. Hanging up a bed sheet behind you also seems to help but I'm not expert.
Veritasium has a great video on space welding
Wrong comment.. how did this happen
This process would be an interesting KSP project. The idea of having the MIR do the maneuvering to save fuel on the capsule is fascinating.
Actually I did it a number of times using KAS and KIS, lot of work but fun
THIS is the most kerbal thing in the history of human space flight.
Two Guys and a Capsule Moving Company
Awesome overhead shots of New Zealand!
Seems familiar, then realisation dawns - hey its Nelson !
I have been following your channel for what feels like 6-7 years around the time of your astroid discovery videos. And thought my channels content is a different subject then yours, you are definitely one content creators that inspired me to just have start making content for the enjoyment of doing it. I can only imagine how busy you are but I would love some feedback I hope your channel stays strong and brakes the 1m mark soon. I hope to be getting space news and story’s from you in another 8 years. To you and yours stay happy, stay healthy, and fly safe
This is an amazing mission! Commuting between stations, you know, like you do. It makes Earth orbit way sexier.
That level of geek I admire.
Me get exhausted: Take a nap
Scott gets exhausted: Talk about complicated space stations stuff and post on CZcams.
Docking scene from Salyut 7 movie is on youtube, interesting, looks like my every docking in KSP - wait for good moment and then raaaaming speeed! :D
Great footage of New Zealand there...
I always wanted someone to cover this mission, thank you Scott!
video starts at 0:00 like so everyone sees
It is fun how they used to call navigation program "Igla": needle (in serbian, probably the same in russian) and they have needle looking thing for docking.
Yeah, that's exactly what it means. It has the same meaning in bulgarian too (and most likely any other slavic language).
It is double funny that there is small anti-air rocket also called Igla. I wonder if they share any parts, given that the AA Igla also has a navigation module.
Thanks....Scott....All over again...!
The Soviets and the Russians had a lot of technical problems with their space stations, including fires and leaks. They solved most of them and did many repairs, some conventional and some "Jury rigged"! What a wealth of experience was generated form these technical problems. I hope that all this experience does not get lost when the majority of the collective memory holders get old and retire. I hope there is a frequent periodic review of the problems and the repairs and remedies, so that those technical triumphs do not get lost. I know that the US program has also had many problems, but I do not believe we have had as many, or as many complex technical difficulties as the Soviets and Russians. I'll bet we do not have a regular "Lesions Learned" review program!
I thing in 90s Russia lost lot of knowledge ..i thing lot off it lost forever until they do it again
As for the manned program and space stations, those experts who remained, and are now working on the ISS program. Many of those who quit their jobs work at universities as teachers. For example, in the Moscow Energy Institute, where I studied, many teachers worked on probes on Venus.
@@danieltherocketmaster4065 -I would expect that space studies in Russia would largely emphasize Soviet and Russian information and scientific studies, since the Soviets have the greatest accomplishments in travel to, and the study of Venus. I sometimes read some new snippet of news about the Soviet program there, and I am suddenly aware, or reminded that I am "institutionally" bombarded with reminders of US accomplishments on Mars, the Moon, and our participation in the great deep space ventures to the gas giants and beyond. "Institutionally", the Soviet accomplishments are seldom mentioned. This is not to say that it is part of a malicious campaign of propaganda by my government, as I am sure that the Soviet and even the Russian penchant for "Secrecy" is largely to blame.
However, I am still worried that all space programs do not have a special department of "Lesions Learned", and a program to ritualistically train all the "space workers" in them and keep these lesions in the collective memory of the follow on generations of engineers, scientists, fabricators, suppliers and astronauts . It would also be great for "Politicians" and future administrators to be regularly briefed on these "lesions learned."
I saw the Salyut 7 Movie last year and it really took some badass maneuvering to match up the stations rotation with the Soyuz capsule. Amazing maneuvers. I was on my senior high school year when this took place, and I remember reading about it in the communist party's newspaper. It was a great mission overall.
After all, the maneuvers performed by the soviet astronauts were inspired on Neil Armstrong's approach to rendevouz with an Agena capsule, that was kind of a pocket space station that the US military used as spy satellites during the 60's. That Mission was part of the Gemini program. Armstrong developed an approach from under the Agena's orbit, matching it's rotation, just like the Russian cosmonauts did, although the Salyut 7 space station was spinning in two axis and at faster speeds and periodicity., so it was quite harder to match to perform the rendevouz.
great story, there is some cool stuff in the russian space exploration that is not well known
Sneaking around to dock in the front port? That's just the opposite of what I do.
After seeing this, I'm just picturing Salyut 7 being that one ship, in KSP, that for whatever reason always starts shaking uncontrollably when physics kicks in. You're in map view and suddenly you can't change you attitude, only to realize that everything is Z-fighting and the kraken has decided to turn paint shaker mode up to 11.
I always enjoy your videos, thank you for the content you produce. I enjoy the behind the scenes info about the Soviet space programs we don’t get to hear as much about.
Scott a fascinating tale, reminds me of a old Bernard Gribbings song " so Charlie and me had another cup of tea and then we went home"
Amazing story. Thank you for telling it.
Fascinating story Scott, thanks for sharing it!
A well-told tale!
Great topic Scott.
Interesting! My recollection from around that time was that this happened only days after the Challenger disaster. As in, almost the next day.
That's a pretty Kerbal story. Thanks for bringing it to us!
One of your best videos!
Soviets: Hypergolics are to dangerous for manned spaceflight!
Gemini program: hold my beer...
Interesting story Scott! I didn't know about it.
Success with unpacking and installing your family in the new home.
Salyut had a TKS on it that they were using as a module, so it was the first modular station for some.
But it undocked, there was no way to send supplies while TKS was docked.
Interesting video, as always.
One of, if not my favourite space mission.
fun fact: we have the third Mir built on display here in Wisconsin at the Tommy Bartlett Exploratorium (Wisconsin Dells). I believe it was only built as a training unit and was not space-worthy but consummate showman Bartlett somehow purchased it and had it shipped here. Methinks the carpet was not factory original.
The food in the bathroom example seems oddly specific. Were you treated to an impromptu biology experiment?
Nice story, thanks!
Great video !
Experiments .
Sick astronauts
Salyut visit
Amazing stuff
Thanks for the video footage of the top of the South Island of New Zealand where I live 😁
I like the shot at ur movers about were they put the cooler
Have fun settling into the new place :)
One of the great parts about living in space is you don't have to worry about your foundation.
James Burleson On the contrary, you need to constantly watch and compensate for it's weakness, jacking up walls as the foundation sags and wobbles.
Happy New Home Scott ! :)
Seem like that frozen food anecdote is from experience?
Congrat on the new house! I will miss your basement studio with those awesome Vinyl shelves an That spiraling Stair :-)
SImply amazing story.
8:30 - Scott, not bitter about that box too much, eh? Gotta love movers!
Seeing you house burning up over South America would be a real drag.
Te Waka O Maui in the background of the final shot! I can see my house (... well, where my house is)
Who needs notifications when you're watching this much Scott Manley ... Was re-watching the video about Cassini when I see this in my recommend : "5 minutes ago "
8:27 is probably 'related to recent events'
I allway find it funny when people mention "Foundation work". My grandfather built my house in 1959 and It is still fine and I am using it. Guess in those timey they made things to last forever. Tnx grandpa.
I love it that I'm not the only one who wears headphones that way!
It’s a habit I picked up as a DJ
@@scottmanley I work at home, and my wife sits at a desk about 5 feet away from me. I keep one ear open to keep out of trouble!
Beautiful shot of the Soyuz ISS docking, kudo's! What is the source?
Maybe one day astronauts/cosmonauts will move things from the old ISS to a brand new ISS (it will have a different name I hope).
Just saw the movie! Highly recommend it
Why no video of glorious Soviet space exploration?
In capitalist America, you film space program.
In Soviet Russia, space program film YOU!!
Because the old Soviet Union was afraid of spies stealing the videos for the USA. The new Soviet Union isn't much better though.
@@BabyMakR the Russian space program has a CZcams channel now..
@@nagantm441 Is that the only bit of 21st century technology Roscomos has? :D
😂 Love that one ever again 😂
I mean... He's not wrong...
interesting stuff ..great vid ..peace out
That Zarya joke was so good.
Interesting. Thanks
Oh boy. If the new owners of your old house watch this till the end they're going to get an unpleasant surprise.
Do you mean the foundation work or the burning over the South America?
Geez, I'd be OK if my house burned over South America. Who else can brag about such a thing?!
Wasn't there a case of a cosmonaut going crazy on one of the space stations? He told the ground station the air was stale and asked if he could open the front window. He and his crew mate immediately returned to earth. I think it was on one of the Almaz stations.
I heard the same joke about submariners. Doesn't ring true to me 😎
Fascinating episode. Fun side comments.
A great and difficult accomplishment, but at least there were no stairs to have to haul the furniture up (that's always the most agonizing part of any moving job).
Manley you sound nice like usual
Watched the movie, it was a real good one.
Hey Scott? Don't over work yourself, I love your content but if you need a break take a break man. I've noticed you've been exhausted in alot of your recent vids. Fly safe
Anyone see the Prusa at the beginning!? You've been holding out on us Scott!
Ha! I didn’t notice that. Nice! Scott, time to show us some of your prints!
Not really, he's talked about it before and there's been a 3D printed Soyuz on his background shelf for a while.
Congrats
What was the movie called?
www.imdb.com/title/tt6537238/
I think it's called Salyut-7? Please correct it if I'm wrong. Looks like it came out in 2017.
me2 (just writing here to get a notification later)
Yep it’s called Salyut 7 thx
Apparently the movie can be seen for free (assume you have a Prime account) on Amazon.
super
I know your not supposed to say or use the word hate. That being said I hate moving. Man it just takes it out of me. I dig how you slipped (shared) some of the moving experiences in the video, nice.
Thanks. The soviet space program is so fascinating.
Wow, what absolut badasses!
Mir over New Zealand 8:47 and 9:32 (I wonder what year?)...
(OK, why is there a weird character at 10:33???)
Actually the sound quality is still pretty good Scott. Not the same though with lack of space stuff behind you though at least it looks like Jebediah Kerman escaped his capsule.
10 minutes long, uploaded 20 minutes ago and over 30 comments already. The power of being Manley.
Misplaced frozen food? A touch autobiographical?
I remember listening to news about this over shortwave radio with the Radio Moscow service back in the day. How come we almost never see pictures of Salyut 7 with it's extra module attached?
Have you tried searching for Russian space footage using the Russian alphabet? Maybe a Library archive?
Cool Kid BMX
It’s also possible that much of it hasn’t been digitised yet, and of what has been digitised, I would guess that there’s some that hasn’t been made searchable yet, let alone searchable in English.
И дидн'т
greetings. very good. success.
Nice shot of the South island if New Zealand at 9:32
Did you watch today's Progress resupply mission? I've never seen the onboard camera from the progress craft before and although it was a bit potato and cut out when the third stage fired, it was pretty fascinating!
8:50 nice footage of New Zealand!
Is it me or is Scott Manley's voice satisfying?
I watched the movie, it’s very good.
The workload on these cosmonauts sounds insane. The Soviets probably didn't care though
I can see a beautiful Prusa i3 back there!! :D
"didn't have to worry about dropping them." That was funny!
