Soyuz TM-1
Soyuz TM-1 was an unmanned test flight of the Soyuz-TM spacecraft, intended for use in the Mir space station program. This was the maiden flight of the Soyuz-TM spacecraft, intended as the successor to the Soyuz-T spacecraft used in the Salyut program.[1] It docked to Mir on 23 May 1986, and undocked on the 29th.[2] It was the last uncrewed Soyuz flight until Soyuz MS-14, in 2019.

gollark: Well, if you were observing an egg from something moving at relativistic speeds, then it would - to you - age faster, I guess, yes.
gollark: If I remember correctly, travelling faster means the external world moves faster to you.
gollark: THAT'S ENTIRELY REASONABLE!
gollark: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
gollark: "in my reference frame, it's older"
