Flight

Launch from Baikonur; landing 105 km northeast of Arkalyk.

Mission "EUROMIR 95". Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the MIR space station on 05.09.1995. The crew became the 20th MIR resident crew. During the next months joint Russian-German research work were performed.

EVAs performed by Avdeyev and Reiter (first German performing a spacewalk) on 20.10.1995 (5h 16m), by Gidzenko and Avdeyev on 08.12.1995 (0h 29m) and Gidzenko and Reiter on 08.02.1996 (3h 05m). New instruments were installed.

The spaceflight took two month longer than planned due of missing money. It was the longest space flight of a non-Russian to date by Reiter.
