Expedition Report
|
Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC). It was the first docking maneuver between an U.S. and a Russian spacecraft since 20 years. After docking of the Atlantis with the MIR space station on 29.06.1995, the crews visited each other and performed joint research work in the Spacelab and in MIR. The MIR resident crew was exchanged. Soloviyov and Budarin became the 19th resident crew. The former 18th resident crew (Dezhurov, Strekalov, Thagard) returned to Earth with STS-71. Later Soloviyov and Budarin performed three EVAs on 14.07.1995 (5h 34m), 19.07.1995 (3h 08m) and 21.07.1995 (5h 50m). The separation was observed from also separated Soyuz spacecraft, after a 7 day flight. |
