  Soyuz 16 (1739)
Check-out of the Soyuz space craft's on-board systems which had been modernized to meet the requirements of the 1975 joint flight in accordance with the programme of the Soviet-United States experiment; conduct of scientific and technical investigations.
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.
Soyuz was ready; the Soviet reports, joint test data, and safety assessment reports proved it.

 1993 - Russia and Piloted Space Missions
As Soyuz TM-16 approached to within 150m of the Mir space station on the morning of 26 January Manakov and Poleshchok disengaged the automatic rendezvous and docking system to assume manual control during the final few minutes.
The Soyuz TM-15 post-mission review highlighted the achievements of the twelfth expedition which included four spacewalks (three for the installation of an attitude control unit on the Sofora girder) and experiments in a wide range of scientific disciplines.
Lift-off occurred on schedule in the afternoon of 1 July, and a normal two-day rendezvous brought the Soyuz TM-17 spacecraft to the vicinity of the Mir complex on 3 July (References 143-147).

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 Kontakt 1 was the active spacecraft of the first pair of Soyuz spacecraft that was planned to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system in Earth orbit.
Soyuz Kontakt 2 would have been the docking target for the Soyuz Kontakt 1 spacecraft.
Soyuz Kontakt A would have been the active spacecraft, simulating the LOK lunar orbiter.

 Soyuz 16   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Apart from the initial orbit which was a little higher than planned for ASTP itself, all of Soyuz 16's activities mimicked the flight which was to follow only eight months later.
Soyuz 16 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome by Soyuz rocket into 184 x 291 kilometre orbit at 51.8 degrees inclination with Anatoli Filipchenko and Nikolai Rukavishnikov aboard - its mission is a 'dry-run' for ASTP, call sign - Buran
The dummy docking unit from Soyuz 16 enters the Earth's atmosphere as a result of natural decay of the orbit through air drag and is destroyed by frictional heating

 Apollo 18 - Soyuz
The Soyuz craft was the primary Soviet spacecraft used for manned flight since its introduction in 1967.
Soyuz Launch: Soyuz 19, carrying cosmonauts Aleksey A Leonov and Valery N Kubasov, was launched into sunny skies from Baykonur Cosmodrome at 17:20 local time (08:20 EDT) 15 July 1975.
A second Soyuz 19 circularisation burn of 18.5 sec at 08:43 EDT 16 July placed that spacecraft in a circular orbit of 229 km, with all systems functioning normally.

 Sandcastle V.I. - Spaceflight Directory - Project Soyuz
Different variants of the Soyuz spacecraft have been the mainstay of the Russian manned space program since 1967, when Soyuz 1 was launched.
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.

 Soyuz programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Soyuz human spaceflight programme was initiated in the early 1960s as part of the manned lunar programme that was intended to put a Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon.
Soyuz survived the demise of the manned lunar programme in that it developed into a variety of projects (both military and civilian), mostly in conjunction with space stations.
Soyuz 1 through 11 (1967-1971) were first-generation vehicles, carrying a crew of up to three without spacesuits and distinguished from those following by their bent solar panels and their use of the Igla automatic docking navigation system, which required special radar antennas.

Soyuz 34 ÿwas also unmanned but its mission was to replace Soyuz 32, so its cosmonauts would have a fresh capsule to return in.

Soyuz 15 was to conduct the second phase of manned operations aboard the Salyut 3 military space station, but the Igla rendezvous system failed and no docking was made.
Therefore the planned Soyuz 16 spacecraft became excess to the program (it was later flown as Soyuz 20 to a civilian Salyut station, even though over its two year rated storage life).
Soyuz 21 with Volynov and Zholobov aboard hard-docked with the station on 6 July 1976 after failure of the Igla system at the last stage of rendezvous.

 The Partnership - Appendix D
Soyuz control requirements were discussed, and although previous documentation specified the docked attitude, control, maneuver, and translation requirements for Soyuz, the Soviets were "unprepared to and reluctant" to provide the data and level of detail necessary to fulfill the agreed requirements.
Before WG 2 departed, a meeting was held to discuss the effects that Apollo maneuvering during the docked phase might have on the Soyuz solar panels; this issue was resolved.
Test flights of Soyuz equipped with ASTP systems were planned by the U.S.S.R. The two sides discussed possibilities of joint participation in or observation of test activities and flight preparations of compatible equipment.

 The Partnership - ch9-9
Legostayev and his colleagues had created control systems for Soyuz that were sufficient for the earth orbital missions that the craft was expected to fulfill.
For American astronauts who were used to having their hands on the controls and flying by the seats of their pants, Soyuz was not the kind of ship with which they would feel comfortable.
All Soyuz 15 systems that are analogous to those used in the ASTP flight worked in a satisfactory manner.
