EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures a significant moment in the history of Soviet space exploration. Pictured here are two remarkable cosmonauts, Yuri Romanenko and Alexander Laveikin, undergoing rigorous training for their groundbreaking mission aboard the Mir space station. On 5 February 1987, these brave individuals embarked on an extraordinary journey into the unknown, propelled by the Soyuz TM2 ferry spacecraft. Their destination: Mir, a symbol of human ingenuity and scientific progress. For months on end, Romanenko and Laveikin called this orbiting laboratory home as they conducted experiments and pushed the boundaries of our understanding of space. Their unwavering dedication to advancing manned spaceflight was truly commendable. After an awe-inspiring stay lasting 326 days – a new record at that time – Romanenko bid farewell to his cosmic abode on 29 December 1987. Laveikin followed suit shortly after on 30 July 1987. Both cosmonauts left an indelible mark not only in Soviet history but also in humanity's quest for knowledge beyond Earth's atmosphere. This photograph serves as a testament to their courage and resilience during intense cosmonaut training sessions that prepared them physically and mentally for this historic endeavor. It is a reminder of how far we have come in exploring outer space while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of astronauts and scientists alike.
