1970-041A
The Soyuz-9 mission, which used spacecraft 7K-OK No. 17, was a transition mission between the lunar and Salyut phases of the Soyuz program. Andrian Nikolaev and Vitaliy Sevastyanov spent a record 18 days in space. The BO carried a thermal control system prototype for DOS/Almaz.
Sevastyanov said in 2001 that three 0.5-meter target subsatellites were ejected from the BO and tracked optically in support of an Almaz-related space defense experiment.
