Narrative (adapted from D S F Portree's Mir Hardware Heritage, NASA RP-1357, 1995)

During the stay of the Visiting Expedition, the EO-1 crew gave visiting Frenchman Jean-Loup Chretien 'the honor' of ejecting a satellite -- Salyut 7's weekly bag of waste -- from the small trash airlock. In his diary, Lebedev quoted Chretien as saying Salyut 7 'is simple, doesn't look impressive, but is reliable.'
