Flight

Launch from Baikonur; landing 160 km east of Dzheskasgan.

Docking on Salyut 7-Kosmos 1443. Second resident crew of the station. Supplies carried from cargo space ships Progress 17 and 18. Numeruous scientific experiments in different disciplines. 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. EVA`s on 01.11. (2h 50m) and 03.11.1983 (2h 55m) (mounting of two solar-cell-structures).
