Expedition Report
|
Launch from Baikonur; landing 140 km east of
Dzheskasgan. Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the MIR space station on 26.01.1993. Main goal of this mission was the crew exchange. Manakov and Poleshchuk became the 13. MIR resident crew. The cosmonauts worked on experiments in biology, astronomy, materials science and earth science. Both cosmonauts performed two EVAs on 19.04.1993 (5h 25m) and on 18.06.1993 (4h 33m). The main work was the installation of the Kvant 1 solar array drive unit with some technical problems. Finally the crew made Earth observation with special cameras. Supplies were brought with the cargo space ships Progress M-16 - M-18 to the MIR space station. |
