The third Salyut 6 long-stay crew, EO-3, was launched in Soyuz-32 (7K-T 11F615A8 No. 48) in Feb 1979. Vladimir Lyakhov and Valeriy Ryumin reached the DOS 5 station on Feb 26. After the Soyuz-33 failure, Soyuz-32 had exceeded its design life. It was replaced by Soyuz-34 and undocked and landed automatically to avoid risking a crew with a possibly defective engine or heatshield. It had spent a record 108.2 days in space.

Explorer 38

  1968-055A

---

The first Radio Astronomy Explorer, RAE 1, was built by Fairchild-Hiller Space System Div (Md) for NASA-GSFC. The satellite, RAE-A before launch, had four antennae deployed in a pair of V shapes. One pair of antennae were each 18m long, the second pair were 228m long. Explorer 38 was launched at 1727 on 1968 Jul 4 by a Delta J from Space Launch Complex 2-East at Vandenberg. It entered a parking orbit of 640 x 5994 km. The solid apogee motor fired on Jul 7 to change the orbit to 224.4 min, 5851 x 5861 km x 120.6 deg. On Jul 8 the satellite was despun and on Jul 22 the process of extending the antennae began. At first, the large antennae were extended only to 138m. On Sep 24 the antennae were extended to 183m, and operations with the radio astronomy experiment began on Sep 26. Final extension of the antennae to 228m (450m span) occurred on Oct 8. RAE I operated until 1972 Dec 25. In 1970 and 1971 some gravity gradient dynamics experiments were performed and on 1972 Oct 31 the spacecraft was rotated 180 degrees around its pitch axis. This allowed the previously earth-pointed vector to observe celestial emission.
