This video index was produced by the French Space Agency, CNES, for the French-Russian mission Perseus, which was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on February 20, 1999. Russian commander Viktor Afanassiev, Slovak Ivan Bella, and ESA astronaut Jean-Pierre Haignere (with back-up French astronaut, Claudie Andre-Deshays) were carried into space in a Soyuz capsule onboard a Salyut launcher, bound for a six month stay on Russian space station Mir. Onboard, Haignere carried out European experiments in microgravity, two of which have been developed by ESA.
This video is a compilation of footage from the mission including the launch; live footage, taken from the Russian Soyuz capsule, of the docking with Mir; scientific experiments onboard Mir; eva footage (extravehicular activity); everday life onboard Mir [image quality poor]; CADMOS (Toulouse) following the mission; astronauts disembarking from Mir; landing; press reception of astronauts; interviews in French with Lionel Suchet (Director Perseus Project), Cl
