The Soyuz T-14 spaceship, after launch September 17, docked today with the Salyut-7/Soyuz T-13 orbital complex manned by Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, FBIS TASS in English reported. After checking the integrity of the docking compartment, spaceship commander Lt. Col. Vladimir Vasyutin, flight engineer Georgiy Grechko, and research Lt. Col. Aleksandr Volkov entered the station.

During the planned eight-day joint flight, the cosmonauts would conduct geophysical, astrophysical, and medical research as well as technical and biotechnological experiments. Then Savinykh, Vasyutin, and Volkov would continue work on the station, while Dzhanibekov and Grechko returned to earth in the Soyuz T-13. (FBIS, Tass in English, Sept 17/85, Sept 18/85)
