Soyuz T-6 was a human spaceflight to Earth orbit to the Salyut 7 space station in 1982.[1] Along with two Soviet cosmonauts, the crew included a Frenchman, Jean-Loup Chrétien.[1]
The Soyuz-T spacecraft arrived at Salyut 7 following launch on 24 June 1982 and one day of solo operations. During the T-6 mission's time docked to the station, the crew performed joint Soviet-French experiments, including cardiovascular echography, alongside the station's resident crew.[2]
