During this time Mir was short on electricity, so for most of May the EO-2 crew performed activities that used little electricity, such as medical experiments or Earth observations. On 22 May the next resupply craft arrived, Progress 30, which had a mass of 7,249 kg. It remained docked until 19 July.

on April 11. On the spacewalk they discovered some debris, probably a trash bag, was preventing the spacecraft from fully docking. The spacewalk lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes. With the problem fixed, on April 11 Kvant achieved a complete docking to Mir. The next day the FSM was undocked from Kvant,

was launched; it was the second module of the space station Mir, and would add 40 m of pressurized volume to Mir, bringing the total to about 130 m. Attached to Kvant-1 was a
Functional Service Module (FSM), which contained propellants, and was used to direct the module to Mir. At launch, the Kvant

Progress 27 docked with the station on 18 January, and was still there when the EO-2 crew arrived. On 26 January, the
Progress spacecraft boosted the station's mean altitude by 16 km to 345 km.
