(albeit off topic:)
Tyler, most of the Salyuts were after Skylab. It depends what
you mean by a space station, but for the record
- including ones that were never used -
DOS 1 Apr 1971 (Salyut)
DOS 2 Jul 1972 (failed to orbit)
Almaz 1 Apr 1973 (failed at insertion, Salyut-2)
DOS 3 May 1973 (failed at insertion)
Skylab May 1973
Almaz 2 Jun 1974 (Salyut-3)
DOS 4 Dec 1974 (Salyut 4)
Almaz 3 Jun 1976 (Salyut-5)
DOS 5 Sep 1977 (Salyut-6)
DOS 6 Apr 1982 (Salyut-7)
DOS 7 Feb 1986 (Mir)
DOS 8 Jul 2000 (Zvezda)
The Almaz flights were military stations, the DOS flights
were civilian stations.
Now back to satellite observing, I hope. Saw Mir
very nicely from the summit of Mt Hopkins, Arizona
on Feb 19. Hoping to see it one more time before it goes....
