Expedition Report

Launch from Baikonur; landing 215 km west of Karaganda / 180 km southwest of Tselinograd.

French Mission ALTAIR. Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the MIR space station on 03.07.1993. It followed a common scientific work with the 13th resident crew. After returning to Earth of the 13th crew (together with Haigneré), Tsibliyev and Serebrov became the 14th MIR resident crew. They performed experiments in materials science.

Tsibliyev and Serebrov performed five EVAs on 16.09.1993 (4h 18m), 20.09.1993 (3h 14m), 28.09.1993 (1h 52m), 22.10.1993 (0h 38m) and 29.10.1993 (4h 12m), in which the Rapana truss was installed and several experiment packages were retrieved.
