It weighs around 20 metric tons and is 17.5 m long. It only flew 3 times in its original configuration. It was designed for launching with a crew of 3 cosmonauts and 4500 kg of cargo in its pressurized section.

Later its hull formed the skeleton of the russian space station modules Cosmos 1686 for Salyut 7, Kvant, Kvant 2, Kristall, Piroda for Mir and the FGB of the ISS. It was also used as the service module for the titanic Polyus satellite.

Configuration

The TKS consists of two parts, the FGB and the Merkur capsule. The Merkur capsule is an apollo like reentry vessel with a base diameter of 3m and a long slender nose containing deorbit engines, RCS and parachutes. The Merkur is attached at the aft end of the FGB. Its was entered from the FGB by a hatch through the heatshield. The heatshield was not ablative, which made the spacecraft reuseable.

The FGB consists of a large diameter section on the front, which contains the control systems and a docking port. Directly above the docking ports are two windows which allowed the crew to control the docking or manually dock to a station. behind the large diameter section is the small diameter with only 2.9 m diameter, which contained most of the cargo.

It has two solar panels, and two main engines on the small diameter section. The TKS could remain docked to a station for months, providing it with attitude control, orbit reboosts, additional volume and power from its solar arrays. The small diameter section can be surrounded by up to 16 propellant tanks.

It got launched by a three stage Proton launcher
