Mission overview
On June 24, 1982 the launch took place from the Baikonur spaceport in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic . 900 meters before reaching Salyut 7, the on-board computer failed, which is why Commander Dschanibekov had to carry out the docking maneuver manually and 14 minutes ahead of schedule. Chrétien was given the "honor" of launching a satellite , the space station's weekly garbage. On July 2, 1982, the capsule landed after 7 days, 21 hours 50 minutes and 52 seconds and 125 orbits around the world 65 kilometers northeast of Arkalik in what is now Kazakhstan.
