Almaz Orbitalnaya Pilotiruemaya Stanziya (Orbital Manned Station) was a highly secretive military space programme. The original Almaz-APOS concept was fitted with a VA crew re-entry module and intended to be launched on a UR-500 Proton rocket. However the three operational OPS versions launched as part of the wider Salyut programme excluded the VA and instead were serviced separately by Soyuz 7K-T spacecraft. The DOS space station core modules were derived from the Almaz-OPS design and featured in Salyut stations, the Mir Core Module and the ISS "Zvezda" Service Module. Almaz-T was configured for use as an unmanned radar satellite bus.
