Soyuz TM-25

Soyuz TM-25 was a Russian Soyuz TM spacecraft flown to Mir for the Mir EO-23 and EuroMir 97 mission. It launched Vasili Tsibliyev, Aleksandr Lazutkin, and Reinhold Ewald from Baikonur on February 10, 1997, docked with Mir two days later, and remained attached to the station as the return craft for the long-duration Russian crew. Ewald returned earlier on Soyuz TM-24, while Tsibliyev and Lazutkin landed aboard Soyuz TM-25 on August 14, 1997 after nearly 185 days in orbit.
