Soviet cosmonauts ended a 22-week mission when their Soyuz TM-8 capsule touched down on the Kazakhstan Steppe, southeast of Moscow. The fifth mission involving a crew living aboard the 20-ton Mir Space Station included dozens of scientific experiments and testing of a "space motorcycle," a one-man vehicle designed for servicing satellites.
