  Diary of the Salyut 4 Mission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The original attempt to fly the Soyuz 18 mission during 1975 had to be aborted when the upper stage of its carrier rocket failed to separate cleanly.
The "missing" Soyuz 19 designation belonged to the spacecraft launched as the Soviet Union's contribution to the international Apollo-Soyuz Test Project which brought the USSR and the USA together in space (see the diary entry for 1975 July 17).
Separation between the second and third stages of the Soyuz rocket fails - the third stage engine fires however, and the crew is forced to use the Soyuz propulsion system to pull away from it.

 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).

Soyuz (Kontakt) 10 was the passive spacecraft of the first pair of Soyuz spacecraft that were planned to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system in Earth orbit.
Soyuz (Kontakt) 10 would have been the passive spacecraft, simulating the LK lunar lander and would have been the docking target for Soyuz (Kontakt) 9.
Soyuz Kontakt 1 was the active spacecraft of the first pair of Soyuz spacecraft that was planned to test the Kontakt lunar rendezvous/docking system in Earth orbit.

 Sandcastle V.I. - Spaceflight Directory - Project Soyuz
The flight of Soyuz 11 also ended in tragedy for the Russians when a vent in the Soyuz craft opened during the crew's return from a successful first mission aboard Salyut 1.
Soyuz is basically a ferry craft to the Russian space stations, Salyut and Mir, and three major variants have flown, 40 of the original type, 15 of the Soyuz T type, and (through July 1996) 23 of the Soyuz TM type.
In 2000, Soyuz operations transitioned from long-duration flights to Mir (last flight April 2000) to ferrying crews to and from the International Space Station (first flight October 2000).

 Soyuz programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Soyuz human spaceflight programme was initiated in the early 1960s as part of the manned lunar programme that was intended to put a Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon.
Soyuz survived the demise of the manned lunar programme in that it developed into a variety of projects (both military and civilian), mostly in conjunction with space stations.
Soyuz 1 through 11 (1967-1971) were first-generation vehicles, carrying a crew of up to three without spacesuits and distinguished from those following by their bent solar panels and their use of the Igla automatic docking navigation system, which required special radar antennas.

 Soyuz n 17
Spacecraft s/n 14, 15, and 16 are to fly in August 1969, 17 and 18 in November 1969, and 19 and 20 in February-March 1970.
Spacecraft 17 through 20 will fly 15 to 16 day missions to demonstrate the new SZhO life support system for the L3, and conduct rendezvous and docking operations using the L3's Kontakt system.
It was originally planned to fly two Soyuz spacecraft in August-September 1970, but at the end of December it was ordered that this be changed to a single 20 day flight in April 1970.

The second stay was for 63 days duration, and an unmanned Soyuz capsule remained docked to the station for three months, proving the system's long-term durability.

 The R-7 family of launchers
The Soyuz, the most recognizable Russian rocket, is only one of several space boosters, which derived from the R-7 ballistic missile developed in the mid-1950s.
On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Russian officials said the launch of the Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft, which is to use the Soyuz FG rocket could be delayed, pending the investigation of the Plesetsk crash.
On a foggy morning in October 2000, the Soyuz booster was being prepared for the launch of the first resident crew of the International Space Station, more than 43 years after the original version of the rocket flew.

 Soyuz TM-17 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-3.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Soyuz TM-17 was the 17th expedition to the Russian Space Station Mir.
Serebrov, standing by for photography in the orbital module, then asked Tsibliyev to move the spacecraft out of the station plane because it was coming close to one of the solar arrays.
The cause of the impact was traced to a switch error: the hand controller in the orbital module which governed braking and acceleration was switched on, disabling the equivalent hand controller (the left motion control lever) in the descent module.
