Soyuz T-6 was a Soviet crewed space mission launched on September 6, 1982. It was part of the Soyuz program and marked the first time that a crew from a non-Soviet country, specifically France, flew aboard a Soyuz spacecraft. The mission included three cosmonauts: Valery Ryumin, Alexander Serebrov, and French astronaut Jean-Loup Chrétien. The spacecraft docked with the Salyut 7 space station, where the crew conducted scientific experiments and technology demonstrations. The mission lasted for nearly 8 days, and the successful collaboration highlighted international cooperation in space exploration during the Cold War era.
