Soyuz TM-25 was the 30th manned spacecraft mission to visit the Russian Space Station Mir.
This was the 30th expedition to Mir. An ESA astronaut from Germany was included on the mission.
Soyuz TM-25 is a Russian spacecraft that was launched to carry astronauts and supplies to Mir station. It was launched by a Soyuz-U rocket from Baykonur cosmodrome at 14:09 UT to ferry three cosmonauts for a 162-day stay at the station; it docked with the station at 15:51 UT on 12 February 97. Within meters of automatic approach to the station, a slight misalignment was noted, and the commander of the module had to dock it by manual steering.
