Soyuz 40 crew: Leonid Popov, Dumitru Prunariu
Mission patch
Soyuz 40, launched May 14, 1981, was the final flight of the Soyuz 7K-T spacecraft, since it was being replaced by the newer, better Soyuz-T. It was also the last spacecraft to dock with Salyut 6.
Its crew consisted of Commander Leonid Popov and Romanian cosmonaut Dumitru Prunariu. They returned to Earth almost 8 days later on May 22.
