An orbiting space station distinguishes itself to advantage from ordinary spacecraft precisely by the fact of its ability to remain in space for longperiods of time. "Salyut-4" has now been in orbit over six months. The second crew has now been at work on board for eight weeks. Why, exactly, do the scientists and various system specialists "divide" each minute among themselves when they plan their work program?
