Soyuz TM-30 was a Russian passenger ship that was launched at 05:01 UT from Baikonur by a Soyuz rocket to transport two cosmonauts for a 45-day (or longer) stay in Mir station.

They were sent to repair the 14-year-old station, especially the recent problems of pressure leak, and a dysfunctional orientation of a solar panel.
