| Summary | All modules of station "Mir" (except for "Kvant" ) was first docked to front port and latter the own manipulator arm pivoted the module at the proper radial port. This module of station "Mir" after docking (189th own revolution and 53045th revolution of MIR) to front port (-X axis) was redocked to radial docking port "bottom" (-Y axis). While redocking cargo spacecraft "Progress-M34" encountered with module "Spektr". Module was lost at 768th day of flight because of depressurization. |
