Expedition Report

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing 36 km northeast of Arkalyk.

Following a one day solo flight the Soyuz docked with the space station Salyut 5 on 08.02.1977. The crew brought repairing tools and equipment for changing of cabin atmosphere. The cabin air was not toxic, so the changing of cabin atmosphere was performed as a scientific experiment. Also scientific experiments for solar studies, earth observations and materials science were done.
