Slept well; the ground woke us. I sat right down, not even getting dressed, to take the comm session and received updated data for the “Delta” test. After the session, my usual routine: worked with the thermal control system.

I recorded Form 03 parameters for all station systems and reported to the ground. In the morning I did a light workout on the bicycle ergometer and the KTF treadmill; the body itself is asking for exercise. During the day, my KTF time overlapped with a live TV broadcast from the Palace of Congresses, where the 19th Komsomol Congress was being held. We spoke with the delegates — with the First Secretary of the Amur Oblast Komsomol committee and the Adygea committee, with young people from Krasnodar. We congratulated them on the opening of the congress and wished them productive work and a good time in Moscow. I also spoke with our doctor Kobzev and told him everything aboard is going fine. I didn’t sit down to write in the diary until midnight. Before that, we finished pumping urine from the EDVSH collection unit into the EDV storage container. An unpleasant operation — not because you’re dealing with urine, like a sewage worker, it’s all your own; what’s vile is that the system has so many plugs, adapters, and hoses that constantly need to be reconnected, and it takes a great deal of time. Today I didn’t even manage a quick glance at the Earth.
