Baturin Spaceflight Log
Baturin Chronology 16 September 1997 - Russian Air Force Cosmonaut Training Group 12 Supplemental selected.. 13 August 1998 - Soyuz TM-28. Assignment: Prime Crew. Flight: Mir EP-4, Mir EO-26, Mir EO-25, Mir EO-26/-27. Soyuz TM-28 docked at 10:56 GMT on August 15 with the rear (Kvant) port of the Mir space station, which had been vacated at 09:28 GMT on August 12 by Progress M-39. The EO-25 crew, Musabayev and Budarin, landed with Baturin on Aug 25, leaving the EO-26 crew of Padalka and Avdeyev on the station. As only one final Soyuz mission to Mir was planned, with two of the seats on that Soyuz pre-sold to Slovak and French experimenters, the return crew of Soyuz TM-28 was subject to constant replanning and revision. On February 8, 1999, at 11:23 GMT Padalka and Avdeyev undocked from Mir's -X port in Soyuz TM-28, and redocked at the +X Kvant port at 11:39 GMT, freeing up the front port for the Soyuz TM-29 docking. Finally on February 27, 1999 EO-26 commander Padalka and Slovak cosmonaut Bella undocked Soyuz TM-28 from the Kvant rear docking port at 22:52 GMT, landing in Kazakhstan on February 28 at 02:14 GMT. Avdeyev remained on Mir with the EO-27 crew delivered on Soyuz TM-29, heading for a manned space flight time record. 25 August 1998 - Landing of Soyuz TM-27. Assignment: Return Crew. Flight: Mir EP-4, Mir EO-26, Mir EO-25, Mir EO-26/-27. Soyuz TM-27 undocked from Mir at 02:05 GMT on August 25, with Musabayev, Budarin and Baturin aboard. They landed on August 25 at 05:23 GMT near Arkalyk in Kazakstan. 28 April 2001 - Soyuz TM-32. Assignment: Prime Crew. Flight: ISS EP-1. Soyuz TM-32 was designated ISS flight 2S by NASA and EP-1 (Visiting Crew 1) by RKK Energia. Soyuz TM-32 was a fresh lifeboat for the station; the Soyuz TM-31 crew themselves would return in Soyuz TM-31, which was at the end of its rated in-space storage tie. Dennis Tito's inclusion in the crew created controversy between NASA and the Russians since he was the first space tourist to fly to ISS. He had originally paid to fly to the Mir station but funds ran out to keep that station in orbit. Soyuz TM-32 docked with the -Z port on Zarya at 0758 GMT on April 30 after Endeavour had departed.. The crew transferred their customized reentry seat liners to Soyuz TM-31, at which point TM-32 became the Station's rescue vehicle. After a six day stay, the Soyuz TM-32 crew returned to earth aboard Soyuz TM-31. The Expedition 3 crew entered Soyuz TM-32) on October 19, 2001 and undocked from the nadir port of Zarya at 1048 GMT, flying it out and then sideways a few meters before approaching the station again to dock with the Pirs nadir port at 1104 GMT. This freed up Zarya for the arrival of a new Soyuz. The docking port at the aft end of Zvezda was occupied by the Progress M-45 cargo ship. 28 April 2001 - STS-100 Mission Status Report #19. Flight: ISS EO-2, ISS EP-1, STS-100. The primary computer aboard the International Space Station continued to work well through the night, but flight controllers continued to encounter difficulties recovering the station's backup computers. The station's two backup command and control computers remain off line. Attempts ...more... 29 April 2001 - STS-100 Mission Status Report #22. Flight: ISS EO-2, ISS EP-1, STS-100. With a gentle push from springs in the docking module, Endeavour backed slowly away from the International Space Station at 12:34 p.m. Central time today, as the two spacecraft soared 240 miles over the South Pacific Ocean, east of Australia. As Pilot Jeff Ashby slowly backed Endeavour away, Commander Kent Rominger and Expedition ...more... 29 April 2001 - STS-100 Mission Status Report #21. Flight: ISS EO-2, ISS EP-1, STS-100. Endeavour's crew and the crew of the International Space Station will say farewell today, ending an eight-day visit by the shuttle that saw delivery a new robotic arm and more than six tons of supplies and equipment to the complex, including two scientific experiment racks for the U.S. laboratory Destiny. The crews are plan to close the hatches between the two spacecraft at 9:41 a.m.. ...more... 30 April 2001 - STS-100 Mission Status Report #23. Flight: ISS EO-2, ISS EP-1, STS-100. A replacement Soyuz spacecraft successfully docked to the International Space Station early Monday, providing the station crew with a new "lifeboat" should an unexpected return to Earth become necessary. The docking occurred at 2:58 a.m. as the station orbited over south-central Russia near the Mongolian border. The Soyuz has a lifetime on orbit of about six months. The crew of the Soyuz which ...more... Bibliography and Further Reading
