Editing Soyuz 7K-OK

The ''Soyuz'' 7K-OK is the first generation of soviet Soyuz spacecraft, flying from November 11, 1966 to June 1, 1970. It had a crew of 2-3 astronauts and was produced in two versions, "Active" and "Passive", describing its role during docking and the configuration of the early docking port. It was a major evolution from the early Vostok spacecraft and plagued with early problems.

-==Description==
-The Soyuz spacecraft consists of three modules, of which only the descent module CA returns to Earth. Every module is specialized for its tasks.
-===Orbital Module БО===
-Extends habitable space, contains galley and toilet, acts as airlock, contains the ingress hatch for entering the spacecraft on the launch pad. Contains the Игла/''Igla'' (Needle) docking guidance system. The orbital module is easily adapted for new docking adapters, docking guidance systems or scientific payloads.
-===Descent Module СА===
-Crew, crew seats, front hatch, [[Sirius-7K IDS|''Sirius''-7K IDS]], ''Visor'' (''Визр'') periscope,  hydrogen peroxide attitude control, heat shield, landing rockets.
-===Propulsion Module ПО===
-Contains all navigation sensors, solar arrays, pressurized electronics compartment, hydrogen peroxide for the ДО and ДПО thrusters, Dinitrogentetroxide and Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine for main(СКД) and backup engine (ДКД).
-==Subsystems==
-===Attitude control===
-ДО (DO) and ДПО (DPO) thruster systems, using hydrogen peroxide.
-===45K sun tracker===
-===TV cameras===
-КР-75, КР-71/1, КР-71/2, КР-91. КР-74 TV signal multiplexer.
-===СКД main engine===
-===ДКД back-up engine===
