Expedition Report

Launch from Baikonur; landing 128 km east of Dzheskasgan

Former prime crew (Manakov and Vinogradov) was exchanged five days before launch due of medical problems of Manakov.

Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the MIR space station on 19.08.1996. Korzun and Kaleri became the 22nd resident crew (first together with Shannon Lucid, later John Blaha / Jerry Linenger).

The French mission CASSIOPÈE carried out physiological and neurological experiments. The resident crew was visited by STS-79 (19. - 24.09.1996), MIR97 and STS-81 (15. - 20.01.1997) crews.

EVAs by Korzun and Kaleri on 02.12.1996 (5h 57m) and 09.12.1996 (6h 36m) for external cable installation of the MSCA solar array.
