This is a chronological
list of expeditions to the
Salyut
space stations
. Initially these expeditions were not numbered, however the crews of Salyut 6 and Salyut 7 were numbered
EO-
n
, where
n
is sequentially increased with each expedition to that particular station. Taxi crews are excluded from this list (see
List of human spaceflights to Salyut space stations
for details). Salyut commanders are listed in
italics
. "Duration" refers to the crew and does not always correspond to "Flight up" or "Flight down". Missions which failed to reach or dock with the station are highlighted in red.
The
Salyut programme
was a series of
Soviet
space stations
launched during the 1970s and 1980s. Six Salyut space stations were crewed, whilst a number of other stations were not, either due to failures, or because they were prototypes and not designed to be crewed. Crewed flights as part of the Salyut programme ended in 1986, when Salyut was superseded by the
Mir
space station.
