The Chelomei LK-1 is a manned lunar flyby spacecraft consisting of a VA re-entry capsule and PAB service module with a small rocket motor for mid-course correction. It was planned to be launched on a UR-500K rocket with a Translunar Injection Stage but was cancelled in favour of the Soyuz 7K-L1. The re-entry capsule design influenced the TKS and LK-700 lander designs.

Soyuz 7K-OK is the first generation crew ferry for the Salyut 1 space station and is derived from the proposed Soyuz A circumlunar vehicle. 7K-OK has distinctive bent solar panels and a large Igla docking system. The 7K-OKS variant (also known as the 7kT-OK) introduces a "probe and drogue" docking system that allows internal transfer between spacecraft.

Designed for crewed circumlunar missions and launched on a Proton-K rocket, the Soyuz 7K-L1 "Zond" spacecraft has a support cone in place of the orbital module that houses a high gain antenna and scientific equipment.

Essentially the same build as 7K-OK but replace the orbital module with a Tantares Size 0.5 to Size 0 Adapter topped by a Rotanev Size 0.5 Structural Cap and add science experiments to taste. Place a Lepus SD-1 High Gain Antenna on the side.

Designed in parallel with the 7K-L1, the Soyuz 7K-L3 (also known as 7K-LOK or just LOK) is launched on the N1 rocket and acts as a mothership for the LK lander.

The second generation Soyuz ferry for the Salyut and Almaz space stations, not to be confused with Soyuz-T, is derived from military Soyuz concept studies (such as the Soyuz 7K-VI). Relying solely on battery power, the solar panels are replaced by two large whip antennae. The spacecraft is also used as the basis of the Progress 7K-TG unmanned resupply craft, which replaces the descent module with an OKD fuel tank for refuelling the Salyut space stations. 7K-T is launched aboard a Soyuz-U carrier rocket.

A similar build to the 7K-OK. Key differences are an Octans Size 0.5 Docking Port A (Male) with an Octans Spotlight A affixed to the side and the solar panels are replaced by two Octans Whip Antenna B on the side of the service compartment. Two Octans Basic Linear RCS Port C go on the sides of the orbital module.

7K-TM was used for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project and features an androgynous docking port and straight solar panels.

Another variant of the same basic build. Replace the docking port with an Octans Androgynous Size 0.5 Docking Port A with four Octans Whip Antenna A in symmetry around the top, and two Pavonis Solar Panel B in 2x symmetry side mounted to the service compartment.

The "Zvezda" is essentially a tiny space station based on a modified Soyuz and designed to inspect and destroy enemy satellites.

Outwardly similar looking to the 7K-T, the Soyuz-T features straight solar panels, an enhanced Igla rendezvous system and new RCS.

Soyuz-TM crew transports (not to be confused with 7K-TM) used for Mir and ISS missions are outwardly similar to the Soyuz-T but with different antennae on the orbital module. TMA and TMA-M variants feature upgraded internal systems but are outwardly identical to the TM.

The build is the same as Soyuz-T except the antennae are switched out for two Octans High Gain Antenna B.
