Mir News 267: 2d Spacewalk (EVA) Mir-19 crew Program: Mir. Flight: Mir EO-19.
Solovyov and Budarin made their 2d Spacewalk from 0039-0347 UTC. They did not accomplish their tasks and the EVA was shorter than planned. The thermoregulation in the spacesuit of Solovyov was not working normally. S. got orders to remain in the hatch of the airlock and observe the activities of his crew mate. Budarin did some preparations for the installation of the Belgian MirAS experiment and brought back some materials from Mir's outer surface. (possibly the American experiment TREK).
PROGRESS-M28 launched for flight to Mir:
The freighter Progress-M28 blasted off from Baykonur on 20.07.95 at 03.04.40 UTC for a 2-days flight to the Mir-space station. Transmissions of this ship could be monitored a few hours after launch on the known frequencies in the 166, 165, 922 and 926 m/c bands. If Progress-M28 sticks to the timetable she will dock at Mir's forward docking port on 22.07.1995 at 0437 UTC.
3rd EVA Mir-19 crew:
