Expedition Report
|
Launch from Baikonur; landing 160 km east of
Dzheskasgan. Following a one day solo flight the Soyuz docked with Salyut 7-Kosmos 1443 on 28.06.1983. The cosmonauts became the second resident crew of the station. Supplies carried from cargo space ships Progress 17 and 18. Numeruous scientific experiments in different disciplines. On July 27, 1983 a small object struck a Salyut 7 viewport. It blasted out a 4-mm crater, but did not penetrate the outer of the window's two panes. It was not clear, if it was orbital debris or from a meteor shower. EVAs on 01.11. (2h 50m) and 03.11.1983 (2h 55m) (mounting of two solar cell structures). |
