Soyuz T-15


Soyuz T-15 was a Soviet spacecraft manned on a Soyuz T spacecraft. It was the last mission carried out on a Soyuz TM spacecraft and the first mission to the Mir space station. It was launched on 13 March 1986 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome by means of a Soyuz rocket with two cosmonauts on board.

The crew arrived at the Mir station on March 15, spending 51 days there, during which they were visited by two Progress freighters. On May 5 they departed from the Mir station to the Salyut 7 station in their Soyuz T on a day-long trip and making the first trip of the same spacecraft between two space stations. In Salyut 7 they performed a couple of extravehicular activities and collected various experiments and samples of materials. On June 25 the cosmonauts decoupled from Salyut 7 and made the trip back to Mir. The re-entry capsule returned cosmonauts to Earth on July 16. Crew
