Soyuz TM-6 (Soyuz Space Programme) Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

Soyuz TM-6 (Soyuz Space Programme) The Soyuz TM-6 was a manned space flight mission that took place as part of the Soyuz program, which is a human spaceflight program initiated by the Soviet Union in 1967 and currently operated by Russia. This particular mission was launched on April 28, 1982, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The crew aboard Soyuz TM-6 consisted of three cosmonauts: Valeri Bykovsky (Commander), Oleg Makarov (Flight Engineer), and Gennady Strekalov (Research Cosmonaut). Their mission was to dock with the Salyut 7 space station, perform scientific experiments, and return to Earth after approximately three months in space. Upon reaching the Salyut 7 on May 1, 1982, the Soyuz TM-6 crew successfully docked and began their stay at the station. During their mission, they carried out a variety of scientific experiments related to geophysics, meteorology, and biomedical research. The Soyuz TM-6 spacecraft returned to Earth safely on July 28, 1982, landing in the Soviet Union near the city of Karaganda. This mission marked several significant milestones, including the 50th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft and the first long-duration stay by three crew members aboard a Salyut station. The Soyuz TM-6 mission contributed valuable data to advance our understanding of life and work in space.
