Expedition Report
|
Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing
140 km southeast of Dzheskasgan. Following a one day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the space station Salyut 3 on 04.07.1974. The crew transferred into the space station and stayed there 14 days. Presumable military activities (observation of rocket bases) and some medical and biological experiments were done. The cosmonauts exercised for 2 hours each day to counter the effects of weightlessness. All objectives were successfully completed. The capsule landed within 2 km of the aim point. |
