SOYUZ 4 5 Docking and Undocking (1969, 01, 16)

Footage taken from Soyuz 4 showing Soyuz 5 docking. The undocking sequence is from Kosmos 186188, an earlier uncrewed test. Hardware differences are very small (like a handrail or a antenna) to the actual Soyuz 45, so it s representative of the event. The undocking was filmed through the Periscope (BCK4 Cosmonaut Visual System). The original color was very faded and the original frame speed is unknown. Here it s presented at 24 fps, probably meaning a 2 or 4x speed up. The Soyuz 4 and 5 spacecraft dock
