Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing
with Soyuz TM-2 spacecraft 80 km
northeast of Arkalyk. Following a two day solo flight Soyuz TM-3 docked with the MIR space station on July 24, 1987. The spacecraft automatically docked to the Kvant1 port, but they had to use a lever to break the hatch's seal. Aleksandr Aleksandrov became Aleksandr Laveykins replacement aboard MIR, becoming Yuri Romanenko's new partner. The visiting expedition observed Syria (Euphrat experiment) and conducted materials processing experiments, but also biological experiments. Syrian guest cosmonaut Muhammed Faris and Soviet cosmonaut Aleksandr Viktorenko returned to Earth in Soyuz TM-2 with Aleksandr Laveykin, who was diagnosed by ground based doctors as having minor heart problems. |
