Overview
This mission to the Salyut 6 space station was a visitation flight where one Soyuz crew would visit an ongoing, long duration mission and them leave a new Soyuz craft. Instead of returning in the same Soyuz they launched in, the Soyuz 27 crew returned home in Soyuz 26.

Soyuz is a human-carrying capsule built and operated by Russia, capable of transporting up to three people to the Space Station at a time. It has been upgraded numerous times since its first use in the 1960s for the Soviet lunar program and was the only crewed vehicle for the Station from 2011 to 2020.
