 ESA - Launch vehicles - Soyuz
The decision to develop the launch infrastructure to enable Soyuz to be launched from French Guiana is of mutual interest to both Europe and Russia and benefits from funding from the European Community.
The Soyuz launch vehicle that will be used at Europe's Spaceport is the Soyuz-2 version called Soyuz-ST. This includes the Fregat upper stage and the ST fairing.
The Soyuz rocket is the workhorse of the Russian human spaceflight missions and has been used for that purpose longer than any other spacecraft.

 Mir - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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.
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.
The Mir space station was originally planned to be followed by a Mir 2, and elements of that project, including the core module (now called Zvezda) which was labeled as "Mir-2" for quite some time in the factory, are now an integral part of the International Space Station.

 Soyuz TMA-2 mission to the ISS
The mission of the Soyuz TMA-2 spacecraft to the International Space Station in the spring of 2003, was intended to be a routine exchange of a rescue vehicle onboard the outpost.
The Soyuz TMA-1 served as a "lifeboat" for the crew of the station since the fall of 2002 and safety rules required a replacement of the vehicle with a fresh craft after six months in orbit.
The Shuttle fleet could be grounded from several months to several years, requiring the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to return the current crew of the International Space Station to Earth, or to replace it with a fresh shift of astronauts and cosmonauts.

 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 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 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.

Different variants of the Soyuz spacecraft have been the mainstay of the Russian manned space program since 1967, when Soyuz 1 was launched.
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.

 A Ferry To Space Stations
During the first decade of Soyuz use, the cosmonauts' planned stay in orbit might exceed the battery life of their Soyuz spacecraft.
Therefore, the early versions of the Soyuz had to be replaced with a fresh vehicle, just as food, water, and air supplies had to be replenished.
lthough the replacement Soyuz could be guided to the space station without a crew, cosmonauts usually ferried the vehicles, because periodic visitors and crew exchanges were welcome changes in the orbital routine.
