Expedition Report
|
Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing
30 km southeast of Arkalyk. Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the MIR space station on 07.08.1997. Both cosmonauts and Mike Foale became the 24th resident crew. First EVA by Soloviyov and Vinogradov on 22.08.1997 (3h 16m) into the module Spektr to connect new cables and mount a new hatch. Second EVA by Soloviyov and Foale on 06.09.1997 (7h 0m) for more repairing work. The main computer was exchanged during the docking of STS-86. Both cosmonauts performed more EVAs on 20.10.1997 (6h 38m), 03.11.1997 (6h 04m) and 06.11.1997 (6h 12m) into the module Spektr. The hatch was repaired during an EVA on 08.01.1998 (3h 06m) by both cosmonauts. Soloviyov and new reasearch cosmonaut Dave Wolf (replaced Foale) performed the final EVA on 14.01.1998 (3h 52m) to inspect the station interior. Common work with the visiting crews of STS-86 (27.09. - 03.10.1997) and STS-89 (24. - 29.01.1998) was done. |
