The Soviet Union successfully launched an untended Proton launch vehicle carrying an attachment module bound for the Mir Space Station from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. The pressurized module, known as the Kvant-2, contained additional crew living space as well as experiments and a "space motorcycle" intended for use in extravehicular spacewalks.
