Flight

Launch from Baikonur; landing 180 km southeast of Dzheskasgan.

Following a one day solo flight the Soyuz docked with Salyut 7 on 18.09.1985. Partly exchange of current resident crew (Dzhanibekov). Photography of Earth surface. Observation of mechanical and electronical behaviour of enlarged space station (Kosmos 1686). Premature return to Earth because of seriously illness of Vasyutin. He was suffering from a very bad urinary tract infection and had a high fever as well. It took nearly six weeks of antibiotics once back on the ground before he was better.

Experiments and tests for the planned space station MIR and EVAs were not accomplished.

Note

Grechko landed on 26.09.1985 at 09:51 UT with Soyuz T-13-spacecraft.
