Soyuz T-5 was a human spaceflight into Earth orbit[2] to the then new Salyut 7 space station in 1982.[1] While the Soyuz-T was docked it received visits from the uncrewed Progress 13 resupply spacecraft, and the crewed Soyuz T-6 and Soyuz T-7.[1]
The first crew hand launched an amateur radio satellite, the T-6 mission included a visiting Frenchman, and T-7 included the first woman in space in 20 years.[1] It was the first mission to Salyut 7, but more than one spacecraft could be docked to S7 at a time, which is why the later missions could overlap with Soyuz T-5.[1] The spacecraft launched with two people ("Elbrus crew"), and returned with three ("Dnieper crew").[1]
