Soyuz-T

The Soyuz-T (Russian: Союз-T, Union-T) spacecraft was the third generation Soyuz spacecraft, in service for seven years from 1979 to 1986. The T stood for transport (транспортный, Transportny). The revised spacecraft incorporated lessons learned from the Apollo Soyuz Test Project, Soyuz 7K-TM and Military Soyuz.

Not to be confused with Soyuz 7K-T.

The Soyuz-T was a major upgrade over previous Soyuz spacecraft, sporting solid-state electronics for the first time and a much more advanced onboard computer to help overcome the chronic docking problems that affected cosmonauts during space station missions. In addition, solar panels returned, allowing the Soyuz-T to fly up to 11 days independently as well as a redesigned propulsion system, the KTDU-426. Finally, it could at last carry three cosmonauts with pressure suits.

Missions
gollark: (this is in fact how GHC implements it, although with some sort of token for the RealWorld rather than actually storing all of it)
gollark: It's just a state monad but the state is the entire real world.
gollark: But you can't give it two Monad instances. So you would have to have a wrapper type. At which point just make a `swap` function.
gollark: I guess so, as it *is* symmetrical and all.
gollark: The equipment is mostly capable of both.
