Soyuz-T Neptune information display system, 1982-83

This console gives the Soyuz module’s crew information on the spacecraft’s condition and trajectory. It provides a keyboard interface with the spacecraft’s computer for inputing commands during manoeuvering, docking, descent and landing. The small globe displays the craft’s position over the Earth.

How much do you know about the Neptune? I have one of these consoles and am trying to establish if it is a Soyuz T or TM version information display system panel.

The clue is in the caption, taken from the recent Science Museum exhibition. I would not know personally, but it was labelled as a Soyuz-T Neptune.

Just had a quick look at your site and see a keen interest in space development, especially the US programme. You may be pleased to hear I have been working with Piers on a book covering the Apollo missions, showcasing a fabulous collection of high resolution photos from the relevant Hasselblad cameras at the time. ‘Moonshots’ will be published later this year.
