Mission overview
After the spacecraft took off on January 29, 1998, it docked with the Mir space station on January 31 at 17:54:20 UTC after Progress M-37 had cleared the space. Mussabaev and Budarin took over the Mir together with Andrew Thomas as the 25th regular crew. Joint scientific experiments followed as part of the Mir-Pégase research mission . Eyharts returned to Earth on February 19, 1998 with Soyuz TM-26 . On March 3, 1998, a planned spacecraft mission by Mussabajew and Budarin had to be canceled because the hatch could not be opened. This was followed by five successful spacecraft missions by Mussabaev and Budarin on April 1, 1998 (6 h, 40 min), April 6, 1998 (4 h, 23 min), April 11, 1998 (6 h, 25 min), April 17, 1998 (6, 32 min) and April 22, 1998 (6 h, 21 min). In the process, a solar sail of the Spektr module was repaired and a new engine for attitude regulation was installed in the SOFORA mast. In the meantime, the crew unloaded the Progress M-38 and M-39 transporters. On June 4, 1998, the Space Shuttle Discovery docked with the Mir on the STS-91 mission . Soyuz TM-27's mission lasted until August 25, 1998.
