The one week visit of the Austrian cosmonaut Franz Viehboeck to the Space Station Mir which began on 2 Oct. 1991 is addessed. Details of the experimental objectives and applications of cosmonaut qualifications and of the flight schedule are given. For this flight, out of 34 scientific experiments, 14 were chosen to be performed by the cosmonaut, mainly in the field of life sciences, but also in physics, material science, and remote sensing. All of them performed extremely well and the mission can be considered a full success. Preliminary data reported showed very interesting results. The cooperation with the Soviet scientists and engineers was an extremely cordial and efficient one, a fact which, along with the outstanding performance of the crew, contributed very much to the success of the mission.
