 | 2 Soviet Cosmonauts Lofted Toward New Space Station
An original report from the first manned mission to Mir. Free registration required. [New York Times] (March 14, 1986)At exactly 3:33 P.M. (7:33 A.M., New York time), flames belched from the huge boosters and the rocket lifted smoothly over the snow-dappled Central Asian steppes at the Baikonur launching site. Fifty seconds later, as the voice of the controller reported that "the flight is normal," the television shifted to cameras inside the Soyuz T-15 craft and showed Col. Leonid D. Kizim, the commander, and Vladimir Solovyov, the flight engineer, cradled in their space suits and apparently at ease.
