Soyuz 30

 1978-065A


Spacecraft 11F615A9 No. 67 was left over from the Almaz OPS 3 program. With no prospect for a near term Almaz 4 mission, it appears to have been converted for use as a DOS ferry. It was launched in June 1978 as Soyuz-30 and docked with the rear port of DOS 5 (Salyut-6) the following day. Soyuz-30 carried veteran Soviet astronaut Pyotr Klimuk and the first Polish astronaut, Miroslaw Hermaszewski.
