alanh_7 Member Posts: 1252 From: Ajax, Ontario, Canada Registered: Apr 2008	posted 12-21-2010 10:37 AM I was wondering if someone could answer a question regarding the number of Soyuz Spacecraft that were docked at Mir at the time Atlantis docked with MIR. The photos I have seen does not clearly show any Soyuz docked to MIR. But the photos are not clear. There must have been two Soyuz docked at the time. Anyone clear this up for me?

They had to redock within minutes of the undocking due to a guidance problem on the station.
