  SPACE.com -- Soyuz Docks as Shuttleworth and Crew Begin Week-Long Stay at Station
With Soyuz commander Yuri Gidzenko at the controls, the veteran cosmonaut manually flew the seven-ton spacecraft on its final approach to a port on the station's Zarya module.
Having spent the past two days inside the cramped Soyuz spacecraft since Thursday's launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the three men wore smiles as they entered the more spacious modules of the space station and could be seen moving cautiously and deliberately as they found their space legs.
The Soyuz TM-34 delivered today is the fourth Soyuz to see duty at the outpost since the Expedition One crew first arrived at the station in November 2000.

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 15 had to cut its trip to Salyut 3 for a two-week mission short when their guidance system failed.

 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.

 Occupation1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The launch of Soyuz 25 within a couple of weeks of Salyut 6 going into space was probably intended to be an occupation of the station lasting about two months.
By having the Soyuz 27 crew return to Earth in Soyuz 26 (which had been docked at Salyut’s aft port because of the Soyuz 25 failure), Salyut 6 was finally configured as required for the first visit by a Progress spacecraft.
Soyuz 25 starts its final approach to the forward port of Salyut 6 - docking should have occurred about ten minutes later but the attempt is unsuccessful - although the two craft come into contact, it proves not possible to latch them together - orbit of Salyut 6 is 341 x 348 kilometres

 Soyuz 27 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At that time Soyuz 26 was docked to that port after Soyuz 25 was unable to dock to the forward port but an EVA by the Soyuz 26 crew had found that there was nothing wrong with the forward port, showing that the problem was with Soyuz 25 instead.
Even though at one point he detected that they were slightly off course he allowed the system to continue and with 7 metres to go the Soyuz corrected the slight alignment error.
The only major scientific experiment performed by the crew of Soyuz 26 and 27 was an investigation into how microgravity effected the way that protozoa cells grew.

Soyuz (Союз) means "union," so named for the USSR (Sovietskii Soyuz, Советский Союз = Soviet Union) and because the spacecraft was a union of three smaller modules.
This image was recorded by astronauts as the Space Shuttle Atlantis approached the Russian space station prior to docking during the STS-76 mission.
During their stay the space station went through rough times and several acute emergencies occurred, notably a large fire on February 23 1997, and a collision with a Progress (unmanned) cargo ship on June 25 of the same year.

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.
