  Soyuz 29 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soyuz 29 was a Soviet space mission to the Salyut 6 space station.
The Soyuz 29 spacecraft landed with the visiting crew which launched with Soyuz 31: Valery Bykovsky and Sigmund Jähn, the first German cosmonaut.
The capsule is on display in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, on loan from the Militärhistorisches Museum in Dresden, Germany.

Soyuz TM-31, with Shepherd, Gidzenko and Krikalyov aboard, undocked from the -Y port on Zvezda on February 24, 2001 at 1006 GMT and redocked with the -Z port on Zarya at 1037 GMT.
After the departure of the Progress, Soyuz TM-31 undocked from the Zarya nadir port April 18 2001 at 1240 GMT and redocked with the Zvezda aft port at 1301 GMT, leaving clearance for the Raffaello MPLM module to be berthed at the Unity nadir during the STS-100 mission.

 Soyuz 11
Soyuz 11 is on the launch pad, and which crew will fly is still being argued.
The Salyut station is much more comfortable than the Soyuz, but the mission has revealed it needs many improvements, including: a unit for ejecting liquids from the station; solar panels, and scientific instruments, that can be automatically pointed at the sun or their target and stabilised; an improved control section; better crew rest provisions.
The Soyuz 11 crew is buried in the Kremlin Wall in a State Funeral at Red Square.

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 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.

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.

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.

With the farewell transmission occasionally fading in and out of view as Mir passed over a Russian communications ground station as Afanasyev, Avdeyev and Haignere each made breif statements thanking those involoved in the program and reassuring the world that a future crew could reactivate the station.
After the statement, the crew floated in to the Soyuz in front of the camera and closed the Mir hatch.
Given that funding for both final options is not foreseen or likely, Mir appears doomed for a firey demise in the skys of Earth in an unpredictable location somewhere between 51.6 degrees North and South Latitude.

Last week, as Soyuz 9 completed its 220th swing around the earth, Cosmo nauts Andrian Nikolayev and Vitaly Sevastyanov broke the endurance mark for space travel set in 1965 by As tronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman aboard Gemini 7 (13 days, 18 hr.
Using new radio navigational gear, they were able to track Soyuz to within about a yard of its actual path.
Indeed, the flight went so well that the cosmonauts took time out from their 16-hour work days—exercises, photographic experiments, spacecraft check-outs —to battle ground crews in a longdistance chess match (which ended in a draw on the 36th move).
