[edit] Older discussion

Changed name from obscure UKSS Military Payload to 'Polyus spacecraft'. This enhances clarity and is better understood then a simple redirect from 'polyus' to 'ukss military payload'.--Chairboy 04:06, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The mass number of 8,000 kg seems wrong. The linked article at astronautix.com claims 80,000 kg which fits much more to the capacity of the energia booster. Even the core modules of the Mir at 20,400 kg did launch on a normal Proton rocket. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.183.248.173 (talk) 18:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
