Kosmos 496

Kosmos 496 (Russian: Космос 496 meaning Cosmos 496) was an unmanned test of the redesigned Soyuz ferry. It did not dock with any space station. After the Soyuz 11 disaster the third seat was removed because the space was need for the two crewmen in space suits and their equipment. Kosmos 496 retained its solar arrays.

gollark: > my current project can compile itself in 300 ms so that's niceClearly I must rewrite all my stuff in your current project.
gollark: Technically, yes, but it's 195 lines of code right now and I feel like that would be more trouble than it's worth.
gollark: My Rust programs take an entire 20 seconds to compile and as I'm used to JS this is very irritating.
gollark: PotatOS did that *several* times on CraftOS-PC some time ago.
gollark: I once had `npm`'s audit thing provide something like 300 vulnerability warnings.
