Mir'92 project
Abstract
Mir'92 is the first joint project between Germany and organizations of the Community of Independent States (former Soviet Union) in the field of manned space flight. Mir'92 stands for an 8-day mission of a German cosmonaut to the Mir space station including a scientific experimental program consisting of 14 experiments mainly dedicated to space medicine. The mission was successfully performed during 17-25 March 1992. Mir'92 as part of the German Space Program is a joint project between the German Space Agency DARA and the German Aerospace Research Establishment DLR. The project tasks were grouped mainly into two parts: crew preparation and operation activities (DLR) and experimental program (DARA). The German Mir'92 should be considered an important step towards space station utilization in the upcoming Columbus era.
