Vladimir Solovyov, born November 11, 1946 in Moscow, Russia, made two flights into space on Soyuz T-10 and Soyuz T-15.
The Soyuz T-10 mission was a critical flight because the Salyut 7 space station was dark and empty due to the loss of Soyuz T-10-1.
Soyuz T-15 was the last flight to Salyut 7, the first flight to Mir and the last Soyuz T spacecraft, since they were replaced by the Soyuz TM.
After his second flight, Solovyov became the Mir flight director. He retired in 1994 but then came back to head the Russian segment of the International Space Station.
