From the Chabot team: "it is thought to be the oldest and most complete Soyuz descent capsule outside the former Soviet Union. It was common during the Cold War for spent capsules to be stripped and destroyed to prevent the technology from being stolen or captured. The 7K-OK Soyuz was designed in 1963 by the USSR to carry three cosmonauts to Earth orbit. The model flew 13 successful manned and unmanned missions but also lead to the death of Vladimir Komarov on its fourth flight. A later revised configuration with a space station docking tunnel killed three cosmonauts upon reentry in 1971. As a result, the 7K-OK Soyuz was retired."
