Soyuz 32

 1979-018A


The third Salyut 6 long-stay crew, EO-3, was launched in Soyuz-32 (7K-T 11F615A8 No. 48) in Feb 1979. Vladimir Lyakhov and Valeriy Ryumin reached the DOS 5 station on Feb 26. After the Soyuz-33 failure, Soyuz-32 had exceeded its design life. It was replaced by Soyuz-34 and undocked and landed automatically to avoid risking a crew with a possibly defective engine or heatshield. It had spent a record 108.2 days in space.
