[edit] History

There should be some background to the article. Korolev had aspirations for a Space Station and the Soviets had planned to use the N1 to launch a large structure going back to 65. The rush to put up Salyut was a result of the N1 failures.

[edit] Article title capitalization

I suspect the WP:MOS would have us title this article Salyut program, reversing the sense of the current redirect. Should we comply? (sdsds - talk) 20:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
