MIRNEWS.302    4 MAY 1996

PROGRESS-M31:

The launch of this freighter has been put for
ward to 5.05.1996 at 0704UTC.
If all goes according to plan the freighter will link up with
MIR on 7.04.1996 at 0853UTC.

Spacewalk (EVA):

It might be possible that the 2d EVA of the
crew of the 21st Main Expedition to MIR will be put forward
too. The date 8.05 has been mentioned, but the exact date
still has to be determined.

Priroda:

The repositioning of this module on 27.04. took place
between 0830 and 0920UTC, so considerably shorter than
originally reported.

SAFEX-2:

This radio-amateurstation on board Priroda cannot be
used before the Priroda is unpacked and fully operational.
