[76] The reentry was a major media event largely due to the Cosmos 954 incident, but not viewed as much as a potential disaster since it did not carry toxic nuclear or hydrazine fuel.

The decision whether to use TRS was planned to be made in 1979. [2] Although TRS was initiated in 1977, it made use of developments in tele-operation going back to the 1960s.
