Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing
160 km east of Dzheskasgan.
Following a one day solo flight the Soyuz
docked with Salyut 7-Kosmos 1443 on 28.06.1983. The cosmonauts became the
second resident
crew of the station. Supplies carried from cargo space ships Progress 17
and 18 arrived at the station. Numeruous scientific experiments in different
disciplines were done. On July 27, 1983 a small object struck a Salyut 7
viewport. It blasted out a 4 mm crater, but did not penetrate the outer of the
window's two panes. It was not clear, if it was orbital debris or from a meteor
shower.
EVAs
were performed on 01.11.1983 (2h 50m) and 03.11.1983 (2h 55m) (mounting of two
solar cell structures).
