Mission highlights

Commander Malenchenko and Flight Engineer Musabayev, spaceflightrookies, were to have been launched with veteran cosmonaut GennadiStrekalov, who would have returned to Earth with Viktor Afanaseyev and YuriUsachyov in Soyuz-TM 18 after a few days on Mir. However, cancellation ofone of two Progress-M cargo ships scheduled to resupply Mir during the Agatcrew’s stay meant Strekalov’s couch had to carry supplies. The result was anunusual all-rookie flight. Docking occurred without incident on July 3. OnNovember 3, Musabayev, Malenchenko, and Merbold undocked in Soyuz-TM19 and backed 190 m from Mir. They then activated the Kurs automaticapproach system, which successfully redocked the spacecraft. The cosmonautsthen transferred back to Mir. The test was related to the difficulties Soyuz-TM20 and Progress-M 24 experienced during their automatic approaches. Finalundocking and reentry the following day occurred without incident.

Mission accomplishments

*Docked with Mir
*Exchange part of crew
*Conducted medical experiments
*Conducted materials experiments

Notes

Both cosmonauts and Doctor Valeri Polyakov (arrived on Soyuz TM-18) became the 16th resident crew; many technical problems with the station arose during this mission, necessitating a previously untried manual supply dock by Malenchenko.
