The launch of this freighter has been put forward to 5.05.1996 at 0704 UTC. If all goes according to plan the freighter will link up with Mir on 7.04.1996 at 0853 UTC.

Spacewalk (EVA): It might be possible that the 2d EVA of the crew of the 21st Main Expedition to Mir will be put forward too. The date 8.05 has been mentioned, but the exact date still has to be determined.

Priroda: The repositioning of this module on 27.04. took place between 0830 and 0920 UTC, so considerably shorter than originally reported.

SAFEX-2: This radio-amateur station on board Priroda cannot be used before the Priroda is unpacked and fully operational.
