March 22, 1981 â JĂźgderdemidiin GĂźrragchaa becomes the first Mongolian citizen in space onboard Soyuz 39
Gßrragchaa and commander Vladimir Dzhanibekov were the eighth Interkosmos crew to visit the Salyut space station and carried out a number of experiments for Mongolia. Gßrragchaa was the second Asian cosmonaut in space after Vietnamese cosmonaut Pham Tuân and is the only Mongolian citizen to have flown in space.

Omega ex-Alaska Project II Speedmaster... December 1977, the 2nd Soviet-Russian Soyuz mission to the brand new Salyut-6 space station. A major innovation was the fact the space station had two docking ports, allowing two craft to visit simultaneously, being a manned Soyuz or unmanned logistics Progress spacecraft. The Soviet-Russian space program equiped Salyut-6 with the latest technology such as the brand new Orlan EVA - spacewalk spacesuits supplemented with the ultimate space wrist watches. Since in 1973 the Soviet-Russians visited Omega HQ, cosmonauts have always been interested in the more bulky flightmaster & Speedmaster chronographs. The first Omega in space on Russian side was aboard Soyuz 14 in July 1974, the Speedmaster followed aboard Soyuz 16 in December 1974. However, by the summer of 1977 the Soviet-Russian space agency had ordered a pair of the ultimate Omega Speedmaster chronographs by fax and two ex-Alaska Project II Speedmaster chronographs with distinctive red outer case made it to StarCity and Baikonour launchsite. Join MoonwatchUniverse during our end-of-year season GTG with lectures on how the Omega Speedmaster got behind the Iron Curtain and into the Soviet-Russian space program!

This painting by Sokolov showing the Soviet Salyut 6 space station in orbit has the distinction of being the first artwork flown in space. It arrived at the Salyut 6 space station on March 3, 1978 aboard Soyuz 28 flown by Soviet cosmonaut Aleksey Gubarev and Vladimir Remek of Czechoslovakia as part of the first Interkosmos mission. The painting was returned to Earth aboard Soyuz 30 on July 5, 1978 by the crew of Pyotr Klimuk and Miroslaw Giermaszewski of Poland after spending 124 days in orbit spanning two long-duration Salyut missions.Â

Russia, your Damn good!
For many years the height of engineering and technical excellence was held by the Germans, the Swiss and the Japanese. What may have been commonly overlooked was the rugged reliability of the Russians. Russians have made spacecraft, aircraft, guns, satellites, radio sets and some of the worlds best optical technologies (lookup Zeiss â itâs not all German).
Although the Russians arenât held in high regard as upholding precision or quality in manufacturing techniques. They do however, carry the worlds reputation in quantity, ruggedness and reliability of their products. When did a Russian product break? When did a Russian device fail to function. OK, So they donât look pretty, but Damn, theyâre cheap and dependable.
The question is why?
Engineers have studied precision machining and manufacturing techniques for several hundred years, to build some of the finest watches, tools and cars money can buy and yet, we still canât make it last as long as the Russians can.
Looking at the mechanical properties of their engineering techniques we witness a mechanical marvel. Loose tolerances are a bane of our culture, loose parts mean shoddy workmanship and poor fitting. To the Russians it means low cost, Â fast turnaround and reliability. The loose fittings allow for inaccuracy's in manufacture to become usable. The lower the tolerance, the lower the rejection rate as the components wonât bind. If some parts expand at different rates due to differences in thermal mass this isnât a problem. The parts now have room to move. There is enough clearance for ingress to not only get in, but also to be flushed out easily. Because of the clearance there are less points of contact reducing wear and allowing lubricants to flow freely. If the parts wear and become loose, it doesnât matter as they were originally designed with that in mind. Iâm not saying as precision engineers we should embrace this âloosey gooseyâ culture they have, but maybe we should forward think our product design to incorporate wear as a factor so it becomes less of a problem. Maybe make swapping out parts easier, or allowing the consumer to purchase the replacements (rant for another day).
So hats off to those crazy Russian belt and braces engineers who kept the products cheap and reliable and working for generations.
Nostrovia to Russia,
The Enginerâd

Nope. Salyut-7 boi all the way.Â
