MIRNEWS.235    2 NOVEMBER 1994

Soyuz-TM19:

On 2.11.94 from 1040-1116UTC this ship made an
autonomous flight to test the automatic approach systeem. The
crew consisted of Malenchenko, Musabayev and Merbold. No
anomalies have been reported thusfar.

Euromir94:

In spite of powerproblems in the beginning of this
mission all medical-biological experiments during which Ulf
Merbold, the ESA-astronaut, was the main guinea-pig have been
successfully concluded. Merbold is sure that the samples did
not suffer damages from the period in which the refrigerator
was switched off. The material-processing experiments had to
be cancelled due to the malfunction of an oven. The materials
for these experiments remain on board MIR and after the repair
of that oven the Russian crew will do the experiments. Spare
parts for that oven will be delivered to the complex by the
next Progress-M freighter.

Estimated landingtime Soyuz-TM19:

The landing has been put forward a little bit and is expected
to take place on 4.11.94 at 1055UTC.
