Expedition Report
|
Launch from Baikonur; landing 54 km northeast
of Arkalyk. Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the MIR space station on 06.10.1994. Main goal of the mission was to exchange the resident crew partly. Viktorenko, Kondakova and long-term cosmonaut Polyakov became the 17th resident crew of the station. As part of the program EUROMIR 94 Ulf Merbold and the resident crew performed a scientific research program to test organism in weightlessness and long duration missions. When the crew landed, Valeri Polyakov was onboard and became the world record holder (438 days in space in one flight). |
