The Soviet Union logs 107 missions — its busiest year ever — and puts Salyut 7 up on a Proton in April. Columbia completes three Shuttle flights, and the programme is declared operational by year's end.
Providers
Columbia's crew released two communications satellites for paying customers in the US and Canada. The shuttle had been declared operational after four test flights.
Anatoly Berezovoy and Valentin Lebedev lived aboard the new Salyut 7 station from May to December. They beat the previous longest stay by 26 days.
Chrétien spent nearly eight days on the Salyut 7 space station. The nine foreign cosmonauts on earlier Soviet flights all came from Soviet-allied countries.
Valentina Tereshkova had flown 19 years earlier. Savitskaya was also the first woman to visit a space station, spending nearly eight days on Salyut 7.
