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 25 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Soyuz 25 achieved soft dock with the new Salyut 6 station, inserting its probe apparatus into the conical drogue of the Salyut 6 front port.
Engineers theorized that the Salyut 6 forward port might have been damaged during ascent, or that the Soyuz 25 docking unit was at fault.
If the latter was true (and they could not be certain, because the docking unit was discarded before reentry, along with the Soyuz 25 orbital module), then it was possible that the several hard docking attempts had damaged the Salyut 6 forward port, making it unfit for future dockings.

 Soyuz programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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 spacecraft often wind up on their sides after landing, which is a serious concern to evacuation of an injured or unconscious crew member.
Soyuz hung loosely by extended probe for one full orbit, swinging back and forth near station structure, until ground control sent new commands to station latches, forcing them fully open.
Source 1 is an ESA cosmonaut involved in the Euromir program; source two is a private interview with one of the two Soyuz crewmembers, which described how the first post burn sequence got within 20 seconds of separation pyro initiation, and the second post burn sequence got within 2 seconds.

 Soyuz 25 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soyuz 25 was a Soviet human spaceflight launched October 9, 1977.
It was meant to be the first mission to the Salyut 6 space station but failed after a problem with the docking system.
The problem was traced later to a faulty mechanism on the Soyuz but this was not discovered until after the Soyuz 26 flight, who performed an EVA to inspect the second docking port on Salyut 6.

 The Partnership - Appendix D
Soyuz control requirements were discussed, and although previous documentation specified the docked attitude, control, maneuver, and translation requirements for Soyuz, the Soviets were "unprepared to and reluctant" to provide the data and level of detail necessary to fulfill the agreed requirements.
Before WG 2 departed, a meeting was held to discuss the effects that Apollo maneuvering during the docked phase might have on the Soyuz solar panels; this issue was resolved.
Test flights of Soyuz equipped with ASTP systems were planned by the U.S.S.R. The two sides discussed possibilities of joint participation in or observation of test activities and flight preparations of compatible equipment.

Their Soyuz space capsules would go into space and return, often to be stripped and crushed to prevent the technology getting out.
30 years later it was moved from its home of at least 25 years, an outside central courtyard in a cultural palace in Georgia, via the UK, and now resides at Chabot Space and Science Center awaiting conservation before it can become part of a new space exhibit.
It is probably the oldest and most complete early Soyuz descent capsule outside of the former Soviet Union.

The Soyuz-U2 upgrade was introduced in 1986 to support the Soyuz-TM spacecraft and has also been used for Progress-M spacecraft and the sixth generation photographic reconnaissance satellites.
A malfunction in the second stage of the 27 April 1993 flight led to the loss of its photographic reconnaissance payload (References 245-246).

 Ramping Up The Station Quickly And Cheaply
Only the Soyuz can survive reentry and return payloads to Earth, so some of those would have to be flown unmanned to return the experiments' material products to Earth as well as crews.
Whatever one says about Russia's Soyuz, it DOES have an emergency launch escape system (which has already saved the lives of one crew), it is a capsule and therefore mostly self-stabilizing during reentry, and it has not killed any passengers since the Soyuz 1 and Soyuz 11 (Salyut 1) flights in the early 1970s.
But if NASA accepts the addition of a second attached Soyuz, the only other thing needed to immediately raise the Station to a permanent crew of six would be the attachment of one additional "Habitation Module" built by the US.

The constant flow of Soyuz and Progress craft into space seemed endless at the time and Salyut 6 saw the busiest programme of space flights ever as a steady stream of replacement craft went into space to support longer and longer stays aboard the station.
