SOYUZ TM-13 CAPSULE



The SOYUZ-TM-13 was launched on October 02, 1991 with cosmonauts Aleksandr Volkov, Taktar Albakirov (Kazakhstan) and Franz Vichboeck (Austria). It returned to earth with Cosmonauts Sergei Krikalev, Alexander Volkov and German guest Klaus Flade in March of 1992. You can see that the outside of the capsule is really scorched, with layers of ablative heatshield comming loose. The photos were taken in October 1994 at the European Astronaut Center near Cologne, Germany.




A look inside the capsule.
