It is possible to see a table containing crewing chronology on my satellite page http://www.lib.cas.cz/knav/space.40/1986/017A.HTM This page is in Czech language, but I think the content is clear. Heading "Osádka" means "Crew" "Od" - "From" "Odkud" - "Comes from" "Do" - "Until" "Kam" - "Proceed to" "Člen osádky" - "Crew member" in this column "bez osádky" - "wthout crew" ie. unmanned "Stát" - "Country" (ISO code) "Let" - "Flight no." "Funkce" - "Assignment" KK - Komandir korablya = commander BI - Bortinzhener = flight engineer KI - kosmonavt-ispytatel = cosmonaut researcher ---------------------------------------------------------- Antonin Vitek Office: Main Library - Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Narodni 3, CZ-115 22 Praha 1, Czech Republic Phone: +420(2)24 24 05 76 Fax: +420(2)24 24 05 26 E-mail:AVITEK@LIB.CAS.CZ My satellite home page: http://www.lib.cas.cz/knav/space.40/index.html Home: Kytin 127, CZ-525 10 p.
