The crew of two experienced cosmonauts, Alexander Viktorenko (Soyuz TM-3/Mir, 6 days, July '87) and Alexander Serebrov (Soyuz T-7/Salyut 7, 8 days, Aug. '82 and Soyuz T-8/Salyut 7 for only 2 days Apr. '83 due to docking problems) opened the air lock and entered the space station about two hours later. They were greeted by the traditional gifts of bread and salt left by the Soyuz TM-7 crew in April. It was stated on shortwave that this crew might set a new record for man tended space experiments with the two expansion modules being added. One will arrive in October containing a manned maneuvering unite called by them a "Space Chair". The other is planed for Feb. '90 and contains a special docking port which they expect to use with the Buran shuttle in 1991. This docking was obviously not the usual kind. The Soyuz approached the Mir from the Kvant end slowly, and then was brought in for a manual dock for the last few meters. Normally docking is nearly always automatic unless there are some problems. In addition note that the docking took place on the Kvant (rear) axial air lock. Note that this confirms the Progress M-1 launched on Aug. 23 was definitely docked to the front (ball) section. Previously all Progress craft have docked to the rear section, and all fuel transfers have taken place there. There have been some statements about fuel/water/air lines being located also in the ball section but they have never been used to my knowledge. It will be interesting to see what new capabilities this altered Progress gives them. Again Earth has a manned space station, but unfortunately not a western one.
