Talk:Soyuz 9

Last intentional soloflight of Soyuz spacecraft?
If I am not mistaken, this was the last intentional soloflight of Soyuz spacecraft. All other flights Soyuz flights were destined for docking, either with a spacestation or in case of the ASTP to dock with an Apollo spacecraft. If anybody can back this up with a proper source, this would be great. Tony Mach (talk) 15:57, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

First crewed night flight?
The claim that Soyuz 9 was the first crewed night flight is debatable. According to an article in The Pittsburgh Press, the Soyuz 1 launched at night. The Wikipedia article for Soyuz 1 lists the launch time as 00:35 GMT (05:35 local) while NASA's NSSDCA has 00:43 GMT (05:43 local). Both times are pretty close sunrise for that time of year in Baikonur, so I suppose it depends on how "night" is defined (does twilight count?). Zachcrush14 (talk) 02:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
