Continued repair of Salyut 7 propulsion system fuel lines. 3 May 1984 - EVA Salyut 7 EO-3-4. Assignment: EVA Crew. Flight: Salyut 7 EO-3. Completed repair of Salyut 7 propulsion system fuel lines. 18 May 1984 - EVA Salyut 7 EO-3-5. Assignment: EVA Crew. Flight: Salyut 7 EO-3. Installed solar array. 8 August 1984 - EVA Salyut 7 EO-3-6. Assignment: EVA Crew. Flight: Salyut 7 EO-3. Repaired Salyut 7 propulsion system fuel lines. 2 October 1984 - Landing of Soyuz T-11. Assignment: Return Crew. Flight: Salyut 7 EO-3. Soyuz T-11 landed at 10:57 GMT with the crew of Atkov, Kizim and Solovyov Vladimir aboard. 13 March 1986 - Soyuz T-15. Assignment: Prime Crew. Flight: Mir EO-1. Mir Main Expedition EO-01. Epic repair mission. The crew, consisting of ship's commander L D Kizim and flight engineer V A Solovyov first docked with the Mir orbital station to conduct scientific and technical studies and experiments. Mir then maneuvered 17 April to match Salyut 7's orbit at 4000 km separation, then again on 4 May to catch up. After six weeks aboard Mir, Soyuz T-15 undocked on 5 May, then rendezvoused and manually docked with the inoperative Salyut 7 station. This was the only flight in history by a single spacecraft between two space stations. The Salyut-7 station was found to be ice bound and without electrical power. The crew repaired the station, regaining power, heat, and environmental control. The also removed experimental results left behind by last crew. Soyuz T-15 undocked Salyut 7 on 25 June, and redocked with Mir on 26 June, delivering 400 kg of scientific material from Salyut 7, including a multichannel spectrometer. Following further work aboard Mir, the crew landed on July 16, 1986 at 12:34 GMT. No crew ever revisited Salyut 7; it made an uncontrolled reentry over Argentina. 28 May 1986 - EVA Mir EO-1-1. Assignment: EVA Crew. Flight: Mir EO-1. Installed truss. 31 May 1986 - EVA Mir EO-1-2. Assignment: EVA Crew. Flight: Mir EO-1. Tested truss structure. 16 July 1986 - Landing of Soyuz T-15. Assignment: Return Crew. Flight: Mir EO-1. Soyuz T-15 landed at 12:34 GMT, 55 km NE of Arkalyk. | ||
