  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Soyuz 24
Soyuz 24 was a human spaceflight launched February 7, 1977 on a mission to dock with the Salyut 5 space station.
Its main objective was to investigate the atmosphere on the station to see if it was in fact toxic and had an effect on the crew of the Soyuz 21 contributing to the problems they had at the end of their flight.
The Soyuz 24 cosmonauts entered the station wearing breathing masks, apparently because of the problems encountered on Soyuz 21, but the air proved safe to breathe.

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 2 had two continuously illuminated lights on its upper side and two blinking lights on the lower side.

The third and last Soyuz flight to Mir was "Soyuz TM-20", launched on 3 October 1994 with cosmonauts Yelena Kondakova (a woman) and Aleksandr Viktorenko, plus ESA astronaut Ulf Merbold of Germany, a veteran of two NASA shuttle missions.
The first Soyuz flight to Mir in 1995 was "Soyuz TM-21", which was launched on 14 March with a crew of cosmonauts Vladimir Dezhurov and Gennady Strekalov, plus NASA astronaut Norman Thagard MD, a shuttle veteran.
Soyuz TM-21 was followed on 20 May 1995 by the launch by a Proton booster of a Mir expansion module named "Spektr (Spectrum)".

 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.

 Blazing Satellites: Guns in Space!
Pavel Popovich, commander of the July 1974 Soyuz 14 flight to Salyut 3, is said to have indicated that the cannon was installed on Salyut 3 but “fortunately he was not forced to use it”.
A Salyut 5 crew member denies the existence of a cannon on that station, so perhaps the wisdom of outfitting a space station with a cannon was rethought, or maybe, the U.S. having had no manned spaceflight capability between 1975 and 1981, low Earth orbit was deemed insufficiently target-rich to justify such weaponry.
The survival kit in the Soyuz spacecraft which ferries cosmonauts to and from the Mir space station is said to contain, among other things, a pistol and ammunition.

 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 spacecraft often wind up on their sides after landing, which is a serious concern to evacuation of an injured or unconscious crew member.
Soyuz hung loosely by extended probe for one full orbit, swinging back and forth near station structure, until ground control sent new commands to station latches, forcing them fully open.
Source 1 is an ESA cosmonaut involved in the Euromir program; source two is a private interview with one of the two Soyuz crewmembers, which described how the first post burn sequence got within 20 seconds of separation pyro initiation, and the second post burn sequence got within 2 seconds.

Mission Highlights: The main mission of the Mir 24 crew, along with U.S. Astronaut Michael Foale, was to repair the Mir space station, which was severely damaged during a Progress docking accident on 06/25/97.
Further spacewalks were made, by the two Russian cosmonauts (on 01/09/98) and by cosmonaut Solovyev and astronaut Wolf (on 01/14/98) to inspect a leaking hatch on Mir and to retrieve experiment packages on the exterior of 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.

 An analysis of the Soyuz 1 flight
Suppose that the spacecraft -Y axis (see article about the Soyuz attitude control system) was pointing roughly in the nadir direction, then the average power received by the single solar panel can be estimated using the knowledge that the sun was roughly in the orbital plane.
The alignment of the Soyuz may have been made on rev 16, since ref (7) says that Komarov would align the spacecraft in sunlight, then check the attitude again after an eclipse period.
Around 0900-1000 UT on 24 April 1967 he listened to a tape of Komarov's voice that was 45 minutes long and probably a composite.

 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 Soyuz-U2 upgrade was introduced in 1986 to support the Soyuz-TM spacecraft and has also been used for Progress-M spacecraft and the sixth generation photographic reconnaissance satellites.
A malfunction in the second stage of the 27 April 1993 flight led to the loss of its photographic reconnaissance payload (References 245-246).

With not enough time to unpack the Soyuz, these Adidas® brand sneakers, sized for Manakov's feet, made the trip into space only to be discovered by Valeri Korzun, Manakov's replacement.
Korzun stamped the toes of each shoe with ink postmarkers that were only on Mir and then shipped them back to Earth (and Manakov) with the visiting STS-79 crew on-board Space Shuttle Atlantis.
