The first space station was called Salyut 1, launched by the Soviet Union on April 19, 1971. It was designed to support long-duration missions and conduct scientific research in space. Salyut 1 operated for 175 days before re-entering Earth's atmosphere in October 1971. The station successfully hosted the first crewed space mission to a space station in June 1971.
