 A rendezvous takes place each time a spacecraft brings crew members or supplies to an orbiting space station.The first spacecraft to do this was Soyuz 11, which successfully docked with the Salyut 1 station on June 7, 1971.Human spaceflight missions have successfully made rendezvous with six Salyut stations, with Skylab, with "Mir" and with the International Space Station (ISS).
