Soyuz22 [2018 (1976), Wijnand Bredewold, 4:16]
Soyuz 22 (Russian: Союз 22, Union 22) was a September 1976, Soviet crewed spaceflight. It was an Earth sciences mission using a modified Soyuz spacecraft, and was also, some observers speculated, a mission to observe NATO exercises near Norway.The spacecraft was a refurbished Soyuz that had served as a backup for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission the previous year. Cosmonauts Valery Bykovsky and Vladimir Aksyonov spent a week in orbit photographing the surface of the Earth with a specially-built camera.
The origional audio recording (Soyuz 22, voice on 142.4 MHz, September 19, 1976 is ‘Paul-stretched’ and edited, so a long drone is the result.
