[i]Mir launch time was set by the need to match planes with the Salyut 7/Cosmos 1686 complex for the planned transfer by Soyuz T-15 from Mir to the older station. On May 4 Mir was lowered by 13 km to speed the approach to Salyut 7 and conserve Soyuz T-15's fuel supply for the transfer. Soyuz T-15 separated from Mir when Salyut 7 was 2500 km away. The crossing required 29 hr. Mir maneuvered twice June 24-25, raising its orbit slightly and moving closer to Salyut 7. On June 25 Soyuz T-15 undocked from Salyut 7 and began the 29-hr journey back to Mir.[/i]
