During its 8-day mission, Soyuz 13 was in orbit around the Earth at the same time as the U.S. [[Skylab 4]] mission, which had been launched on November 16, and which would remain in orbit until February 8, marking the first time that both the United States and the Soviet Union had crewed missions operating simultaneously. <ref>"Skylab 3 Astronauts Wish Russians Luck", ''Los Angeles Times'', December 19, 1973, p. 22 ("The launch marked the first time that Russian and American astronauts were aloft simultaneously." )</ref> |

Soyuz 13 (Russian: Союз 13, Union 13) was a December, 1973, Soviet crewed space flight, the second test flight of the redesigned Soyuz 7K-T spacecraft that first flew as Soyuz 12. The spacecraft was specially modified to carry the Orion 2 Space Observatory. The flight, crewed by Pyotr Klimuk and Valentin Lebedev, was the Soviet Union's first dedicated science mission,[4] and was the first mission controlled by the new Kaliningrad Mission Control Center.[5]
