Soyuz 9 (Russian: Союз 9 Union 9) was a 1970 Soviet manned space flight. The two-man crew of Andrian Nikolayev and Vitali Sevastyanov broke the five-year-old space endurance record held by Gemini 7 with their nearly 18-day flight. The mission paved the way for the Salyut space station missions investigating the effects of long-term weightlessness on crew and evaluating the work that the cosmonauts could do in orbit individually and as a team.
