SOYUZ (????) - What is it?
 Today, cosmonauts and astronauts travel 200
miles above Earth to the International Space
Station in Soyuz transports from Russia and
space shuttles from the United States.

Why Soyuz is more important?
On September 18 NASA announced that the STS-133
is expected to be the final mission of the Space
Shuttle Program The lunch is programmed for
September 2010 and the crew of the last flight
will include a CAP member CDR Steven

date, SOYUZ will be the only space ship capable
to continue to support the ISS

Soyuz compared with the shuttle

• Typically, in the past, U.S. shuttles have
  ferried long-term crews to the station, while
  Soyuz transports have carried short-term visiting
  cosmonauts, astronauts and tourists to the ISS.
• A Soyuz capsule can carry three
• people. A shuttle can carry seven.
• Soyuz and Progress capsules are not reusable.
• Shuttles are reusable, and they take less time to
  get to the ISS at less cost than a Soyuz or
  Progress.

Soyuz compared with the shuttle
It takes two years to build and launch a Soyuz
transport, slightly less to build a Progress
cargo ship. It could take up to four years to
build a new shuttle, if the old patterns still
were available. However, it seems highly unlikely
that a replacement shuttle in the style of the
three remaining orbiters will be built.

Soyuz - Rocket
SOYUZ is a family of expendable launch systems
They are used as the launcher for the manned
Soyuz spacecraft as part of the Soyuz
program They are also used to launch unmanned
Progress supply spacecraft to the International
Space Station and for commercial launches
marketed and operated by Starsem and Arianespace.

Soyuz-TMA Spacecraft
The Soyuz-TMA (T - transport, M - modified, A -
anthropometric) the most recent revision (2003)
of the Soyuz spacecraft used by the Russian
Federal Space Agency for human spaceflights.
The spacecraft features several changes to
accommodate requirements requested by NASA in
order to service the International Space Station,
including more latitude in the height and weight
of the crew and improved parachute systems. It
is also the first expendable vehicle to feature a
"glass cockpit." Soyuz-TMA looks identical to the
earlier Soyuz-TM spacecraft on the outside, but
interior differences allow it to accommodate
taller occupants with new adjustable crew couches.
