TKS Spacecraft

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! TKS spacecraft was designed by Vladimir Chelomei as a manned spacecraft launched with Proton rocket alternative to the Soyuz spacecraft to supply the military Almaz space station. Development began in 1965, but by the time the first flight articles were ready the Almaz programme had been abandoned. The VA ("Vozvrashaemiy Apparat") capsule was flown separately on four test missions with two capsules on one booster to test the design, as well as one "all-up" test mission and three resupply missions. It was never flown manned, although in December of 1978 formation of a special group of six cosmonauts was approved for manned missions on board the TKS spacecraft.
