Mission overview

Soyuz 30 landing capsule in Warsaw

With the start of Soyuz 30, the second intercosmonaut Miroslaw Hermaszewski from the People's Republic of Poland was brought to the Salyut 6 station. The commanding officer was the experienced Pyotr Klimuk. This flight was of great political importance against the background of the growing anti-Soviet and anti-communist attitude in Poland.

The core of the relatively uniform Interkosmos missions were original broadcasts of the start, of conversations with the respective party or state leaders and greetings to the home population. In addition, observations and recordings (with the MKF-6 camera also multispectral) of the guest's home country, medical-biological examinations and experiments with products typical of the country were carried out. The guest visit was designed for about seven days and 21.5 hours (with a tolerance of ± one hour). The preparation of these missions did not take a lot of time, as military pilots who were mostly trained in the Soviet Union (i.e. who had language skills) could be used.
