[i]...on February 20, the crew boarded the Soyuz capsule and backed away from Mir to free the Kvant-1 port for the redocking of the Progress capsule, which had been filled with trash and placed in a parking orbit on January 30. Instead of doing a fly-around as other crews had done, they held steady while ground controllers rotated Mir. Musabayev then manually flew the Soyuz back to a smooth docking at the transfer node recently vacated by the previous crew's Soyuz.[/i]
