  Soyuz - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Soyuz
The Soyuz rocket is used to launch the crewed Soyuz spacecraft, which delivers cosmonauts to the International Space Station.
Soyuz spacecraft consist of three parts: a rear section containing engines; the central crew compartment; and a forward compartment for working and living space.
Soyuz 1 crashed on its first flight in April 1967, killing the lone pilot, Vladimir Komarov.

Soyuz T-10 was aborted on the launch pad when a fire broke out at the base of the vehicle.
On September 17 1985 Soyuz T-14 docked with the station carrying Vladimir Vasyutin, Alexander Volkov, and Georgi Grechko.

Soyuz 6, 7, and 8 were launched within a day of each other, putting a total of seven cosmonauts in space at the same time for a joint mission.
Soyuz 13 carried the Orion astrophysical observatory, which was never deployed to the Salyut space station.
Soyuz 15 had to cut its trip to Salyut 3 for a two-week mission short when their guidance system failed.

 Salyut 3 - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It had two solar panels laterally mounted on the center of the station and a retactable recovery module for the return of research data and materials.
Only one of the three intended crews successfully boarded and manned the sation, brought by Soyuz 14; Soyuz 15 attempted to bring a second crew but failed to dock.
It tested a wide variety of reconnaisance sensors; on September 23, 1974, the station's recovery module was released and re-entered, being recovered by the Soviets.

 SOYUZ!
The spacecraft was basically the Soyuz ferry, with all automatic docking systems deleted, solar cells in place of batteries, a universal docking system in place of the standard one, and minor ECS and radio modifications for compatibility with American systems.
Soyuz 22 was the backup Soyuz ASTP with the East German MKF6 earth resources photo system in place of the docking collar.
Ignored and maligned in the West, the Soyuz was the key that unlocked the door of space supremacy for the Soviet Union.

Soyuz 10 was to be the first attempt to put a crew aboard Salyut 1 (4/24/71), but when a docking mechanism failed, the mission was aborted.
Soyuz 14 was a mostly military mission, so details are scanty, but some science observations were made.
Soyuz 18-1 was suppose to dock and man Salyut 4, but a booster failure occurred, and the mission was aborted before reaching orbit.

 Salyut-3 (OPS-2) space station   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The 7KT version of the Soyuz was launched without crew on May 27, 1974 and announced as Cosmos-656.
The crew of the Soyuz-14 spacecraft was composed of veteran cosmonaut Pavel Popovich and a rookie, Yuri Artukhin; it was launched toward the OPS-2 on July 3, 1974.
Two decades later, the official history of RKK Energia reavealed that when the Soyuz-15 reached a distance of 300-meter from the station, the Igla ("Needle") rendezvous system, failed to switch to the final-approach mode and instead started implementing a sequence, which would be normally executed at a range of three kilometers from the station.

 Soyuz-TMA 1 - 8 (7K-STMA, 11F732)
The modified Soyuz TMA manned spacecraft has been developed on the basis of a Soyuz TM spacecraft in accordance with intergovernmental agreements between Russia and the USA and is an integral part of the International Space Station (ISS) Complex.
The basic modifications of the Soyuz TM spacecraft are connected with implementation of requirements for enlargement of crew anthropometric parameter range up to the values acceptable for the American astronaut contingent, and with increase of crew protection level from shock loads by decreasing landing speeds and improving shock-absorption of its chairs.
For implementation of the above requirements on the baseline Soyuz TM spacecraft the following basic modifications in layout, design and onboard systems of the descent module (DM) were made without increase of its dimensions:

Human spaceflight is space exploration with a human crew, and possibly passengers (in contrast to dog-manned space missions, which are remotely-controlled or robotic space probes).
It was later claimed by Soviet authorities that no docking had been intended and that the flight had only been undertaken to devlop techniques for maneuvering near the space station.
Soyuz 16 was a test flight in the project to achieve a joint Soviet-US space flight that resulted in the Apollo-Soyuz mission.

 1993 - Russia and Piloted Space Missions
As Soyuz TM-16 approached to within 150m of the Mir space station on the morning of 26 January Manakov and Poleshchok disengaged the automatic rendezvous and docking system to assume manual control during the final few minutes.
The Soyuz TM-15 post-mission review highlighted the achievements of the twelfth expedition which included four spacewalks (three for the installation of an attitude control unit on the Sofora girder) and experiments in a wide range of scientific disciplines.
Lift-off occurred on schedule in the afternoon of 1 July, and a normal two-day rendezvous brought the Soyuz TM-17 spacecraft to the vicinity of the Mir complex on 3 July (References 143-147).

 The Partnership - ch10-4
First, to prevent undue stress from being placed on the Soyuz solar panels, the American agreed to use only two of the four roll jets to rotate the spacecraft during the docked phase of the flight.
As agreed during the final meeting in Houston, to protect Soyuz from, the RCS plume, the forward-firing engines would be shut off within 2 seconds after docking system capture.
The basic safety of the Apollo and Soyuz propulsion and control systems was documented in reports on each spacecraft, which provided a functional description of those systems and of how they operated.

 The flight of Soyuz-4 and Soyuz-5
But after the flight of Soyuz 3 the "chief designer" (now known to be V.P Mishin) told reporters that the next mission would involve the docking of two Soyuz craft and that "we are already prepared for a new launch" (2).
Soyuz-4 (spacecraft #12) was launched from launch complex 31 at Baikonur on Tuesday, 14 January 1969 at 0730 UT (11) with cosmonaut Vladimir Shatalov on board.
The launch time of a Soyuz is 11-12 minutes after the virtual equator crossing, giving a launch time of 0730-0731 UT, in good agreement with the figure 0730 given by Nikolai Kamanin in his diaries.

 Soyuz program   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Soyuz human spaceflight program was initiated in the early 1960s as part of the Luna program that was intended to put a Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon.
This objective was abandoned when technological problems meant that the US would reach the Moon first, and Soyuz then developed into a variety of projects (both military and civilian), mostly in conjunction with space stations.
As of 2003, Soyuz derivatives provide Russia's human spaceflight capability and are used to ferry personnel and supplies to and from the International Space Station.

Popovich werd pas voor de tweede keer gelanceerd op 3 juli 1974 aan boord van de Soyuz 14.
Popovich was op deze vlucht gezagvoerder en keerde na een vlucht van bijna 16 dagen samen met boordwerktuigkundige Yuri Artyukhin terug op aarde.

 Spacecraft - Soyuz
Soyuz is the most-utilized manned spacecraft and is now into its third decade with a flight total comparable to the aggregate for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Shuttle.
Soyuz has thus been transformed from a spacecraft with lunar pretensions to a dedicated space station ferry.
Progress is derived from the manned Soyuz vehicle, but with the descent module replaced by a compartment for transporting up to 940 kg of propellants, other liquids and compressed gases for piping inot the station.

 Blazing Satellites: Guns in Space!
Pavel Popovich, commander of the July 1974 Soyuz 14 flight to Salyut 3, is said to have indicated that the cannon was installed on Salyut 3 but "fortunately he was not forced to use it".
A Salyut 5 crew member denies the existence of a cannon on that station, so perhaps the wisdom of outfitting a space station with a cannon was rethought, or maybe, the U.S. having had no manned spaceflight capability between 1975 and 1981, low Earth orbit was deemed insufficiently target-rich to justify such weaponry.
The survival kit in the Soyuz spacecraft which ferries cosmonauts to and from the Mir space station is said to contain, among other things, a pistol and ammunition.

Soyuz 14 was the third of the modified Soyuz craft, so the Russians expressed relief that its mission had been a success.
The fact that Russia used the Soyuz 14 craft for the mission to Salyut 3 probably indicates that the craft is cleared for operational use.
Soyuz 15 appears to have had difficulty catching up with the Salyut 3 in orbit, and in fact only reached within 100 km of the space station.
