Crew of Soyuz TM-9
Soyuz TM-9, the ninth mission to the Mir space station, was launched February 11, 1990. Its crew consisted of Commander Anatoly Solovyev and Flight Engineer Aleksandr Balandin. It experienced so many problems that the Soviets considered sending Soyuz TM-10 with a single cosmonaut as a rescue mission. However, Solovyev and Balandin managed to fix the problems such that they returned safely to Earth August 9.
