The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961. Since then, people have not only been travelling to space, but many of them have also lived there for some time. The Soviet Union sent the first space station in 1971. This space station was called Salyut 1. Salyut 1 was designed as a place where people could live while they made observation (观察) and did experiments. The first group of Russian astronauts arrived separately in a spacecraft and docked (对接) with the space station. Then they entered Salyut l and lived there for several days. While they were there, they did experiments and watched space and the Earth below. The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At the same time, the United States built its own space station called Skylab. Astronauts visited and often lived on these space stations for short periods of time. However, it wasn't until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir Space Station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space continuously from 1986 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old to live in safely. However, astronauts now can live on the International Space Station. Over the next few years, it is expected that a larger number of people will live and work there. 1. When did the Soviet Union send the first space station? ___________________________________ 2.
