  Soyuz T-13 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soyuz T-13 was the 8th expedition to Salyut 7.
Soyuz-T 13 was the first Soyuz to dock manually with an inert Salyut.
Upon achieving hard dock—the first time a Soyuz docked with an inactive station—the crew confirmed through the electrical connectors in the docking collars that the Salyut 7 electrical system was dead.

 Soyuz 4
Soyuz 4 and 5 achieved the manned docking mission that was to have been accomplished by the third and fourth Soyuz spacecraft.
As for Soyuz, a 0+1 (docking of one unmanned spacecraft and a manned spacecraft with a single cosmonaut aboard) is planned for 25 October, to be followed by a 1+3 mission with a crew transfer by December at the earliest - possibly not until February-March of the following year.
Soyuz 4 landed at 06:51 GMT 48 km south-west of Karaganda, 40 km from the planned point, with the crew of Khrunov, Shatalov and Yeliseyev aboard.

 Soyuz 13 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soyuz 13 was a second test flight of the redesigned Soyuz capsule that first flew as Soyuz 12.
This particular spacecraft was further specially modified to carry a large camera for astrophysical observations.
Once again, the new Soyuz variant performed extremely well when on-board systems were tested.

 Pyotr Klimuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His first flight was a long test flight on Soyuz 13 in 1973.
This was followed by a mission to the Salyut 4 space station on Soyuz 18 in 1975.
From 1976 he became involved in the Intercosmos and made his third and final spaceflight on an Intercosmos flight with Polish cosmonaut Mirosław Hermaszewski on Soyuz 30.

 Soyuz 12
Soyuz 12 was the test flight of the newly-redesigned Soyuz spacecraft that was intended to provide greater crew safety in the wake of the Soyuz 11 tragedy.
The crew capacity of the capsule had been decreased from three to two cosmonauts to allow for space suits to be worn during launch, re-entry, and potentially hazardous maneuvers such as docking.
Cosmonauts Vasili Lazarev[?] and Oleg Makarov were to evaluate the design, which proved to be successful and well-behaved.

 Chronology of Manned Space Missions
Soyuz 6, 7, and 8 were launched within a day of each other, putting a total of seven cosmonauts in space at the same time for a joint mission.
Soyuz 13 carried the Orion astrophysical observatory, which was never deployed to the Salyut space station.
Soyuz 15 had to cut its trip to Salyut 3 for a two-week mission short when their guidance system failed.

 Soyuz 8
Spacecraft s/n 14, 15, and 16 are to fly in August 1969, 17 and 18 in November 1969, and 19 and 20 in February-March 1970.
After the landing of Soyuz 6 there are two further attempts to dock Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8, but they fail due to large errors in the ballistic calculations of the manoeuvres necessary to correct their orbits.
Soyuz 7 is to land on orbit 97, beginning a 95 m/s retrofire impulse at 11:44:11.

 ESA Portal - Life in Space - New Soyuz TMA spacecraft cleared for next mission with ESA astronaut
The maiden flight of the new series by the Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 30 October 2002.
The problem, which caused Soyuz TMA-1 to perform the re-entry in ballistic mode and land 150 km north of Baikonur 400 km short of the intended landing site, was due to a failure in the BUSP-M guidance system, which is necessary in order to carry out a controlled re-entry.
This is only the third time in the history of the Soyuz programme that such a mode of re-entry has occurred, though the ballistic mode is one of four nominal re-entry modes that the Soyuz T, TM and TMA capsules could employ under different conditions.

The flight of Soyuz 11 also ended in tragedy for the Russians when a vent in the Soyuz craft opened during the crew's return from a successful first mission aboard Salyut 1.
Soyuz is basically a ferry craft to the Russian space stations, Salyut and Mir, and three major variants have flown, 40 of the original type, 15 of the Soyuz T type, and (through July 1996) 23 of the Soyuz TM type.
In 2000, Soyuz operations transitioned from long-duration flights to Mir (last flight April 2000) to ferrying crews to and from the International Space Station (first flight October 2000).

 The Partnership - ch9-9
It was agreed that during the upcoming manned Soyuz flight which is a precursor test flight for the ASTP mission, the American side will perform Soyuz spacecraft tracking with their own ground tracking stations and the two sides will subsequently compare tracking data.
The Soyuz spacecraft was identical to the one that would be flown in July, and the Soviets had designed the December flight plan to check out key parts of the ASTP plan.
Soyuz was ready; the Soviet reports, joint test data, and safety assessment reports proved it.

 Sandcastle V.I. - Spaceflight Directory - Soyuz Flight Details 7
A unique aspect of this flight was that the Soyuz spacecraft was equipped with an androgenous docking mechanism of the type that will be used during future flights of the American space shuttle to the Mir station.
The Soyuz TM-20 cosmonauts, along with cosmonaut Poliakov of Soyuz TM-18 remained aboard Mir for a longer duration mission.
The Mir 18 crew returned to Earth in the shuttle, leaving behing their Soyuz spacecraft and the Mir 19 crew, which was launched as part of the STS-71 crew.

 SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Mir
Soyuz (Союз) means "union," so named for the USSR (Sovietskii Soyuz, Советский Союз = Soviet Union) and because the spacecraft was a union of three smaller modules.
This image was recorded by astronauts as the Space Shuttle Atlantis approached the Russian space station prior to docking during the STS-76 mission.
During their stay the space station went through rough times and several acute emergencies occurred, notably a large fire on February 23 1997, and a collision with a Progress (unmanned) cargo ship on June 25 of the same year.

Space station Commander Bill McArthur and Cosmonaut Valery Tokarev moved their Soyuz TMA spacecraft from the Earth-facing port of the Zarya module to the aft docking port of the Zvezda Service module.
The move was made to clear the Zarya port for arrival of the Expedition 13 Soyuz TMA.
That was done to prepare for the unlikely eventuality that the Soyuz could not redock at the station.

All astronauts who ride in Soyuz spacecraft have custom seat liners that fit their body contours when they are wearing their launch and entry spacesuits.
In contrast, the U.S. Apollo series spacecraft developed during the same period as the Soyuz used water landings; the U.S. space shuttles land on runways in a fashion similar to conventional aircraft.

In February 1985, while temporary unmanned, the Salyut 7 lost electric power and its orbit began to decay slowly.
A crew for a repair mission was choosen and in June the Soyuz-T 13 took off from Baykonur with a crew of two: Vladimir Dzhanybekov and Viktor Savinhkh.
When they reached the station's orbit, they saw it slowly rotating and Dzhanybekov had to took manual control for docking.
