Klaus-Dietrich Flade ready for launch
On 17 March 1992, the German astronaut Klaus-Dietrich Flade, together with the two Russian cosmonauts Aleksandr Viktorenko and Alexandr (Sascha) Kaleri, launched on an eight-day mission to the Russian space station Mir on board the Soyuz TM-14 spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. On 19 March 1992, the spacecraft docked with the Mir station and the three cosmonauts 'moved' into the space station.
