 ISS developments in 2001
Since at least one Soyuz had to be docked to the ISS constantly to provide emergency escape for the residents of the station, Russia planned the replacement of the Soyuz every six months.
The Soyuz TM spacecraft (Tail Number #206), which was in standby readiness during Mir deorbiting at the beginning of 2001 was reassigned as the crew rescue vehicle for the International Space Station in April 2001.
The Soyuz TM-32 is scheduled to be integrated with its launch-vehicle on April 25 and rolled out to the Launch Pad 5 in Area 1 in Baikonur on April 26, two days before launch.

 The Soyuz spacecraft
An "abbreviated" version of the Soyuz spacecraft, designated L1, was developed for a circumlunar mission launched by the Proton rocket.
Accordingly, the Soyuz was re-tailored for the role of a ferry, capable of delivering a crew of three to the orbital outpost.
The reentry capsule of the Soyuz spacecraft, known by its Russian acronym as "SA." is the only section of the vehicle, which returns to Earth at the end of the mission.

 Soyuz programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Soyuz human spaceflight program 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 program 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.

During the life of the Russian Mir space station, a Soyuz capsule was kept docked with Mir whenever the station was occupied.
The purpose of this capsule was to serve as a life boat in case of an emergency.
Subsequent crew exchanges were made with the Space Shuttle, although the Soyuz is again being used until the shuttle fleet returns to flight.

The Soyuz rocket blasted off from the barren steppes of Central Asia under sunny, blue skies, and disappeared into the heavens, trailing a red flame and leaving a faint line of white smoke.
Russia said it had been unwilling to postpone the Soyuz mission because the cosmonauts must replace the space station's escape craft, whose service lifetime expires at the end of the month.
The Soyuz space ship that carried Tito and cosmonauts Yuri Baturin and Talgat Musabayev to orbit will serve as the new lifeboat and the three men will return on the older ship.

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.

However problems were found on Soyuz 1 when the ion gauges would not function in ion 'pockets' of low density in the re-entry manoeuvre portion of the orbit.
Soyuz finally was separated from by ground control command at 192 km, and following a 20.6+ G reentry, the capsule landed in the Altai mountains, tumbled down a mountainside, and snagged in some bushes just short of a precipice.
A Soyuz 25 mission to the Salyut 5 space station with the crew of Berzovoi and Lisun was to have followed Soyuz 24.

 STS-100/6A SSRMS
Soyuz spacecraft provide emergency crew return capability on the station and have a limited working life guarantee of around 180 days, although based on routine system monitoring while in orbit this may be extended many days.
The first Soyuz also delivered the ISS-1 crew, and its useful life was expiring as planned requiring a new Soyuz launch to replace it.
NASA's reaction to Russia's plan to launch Tito on the first Soyuz taxi mission was harsh and lead to weeks of bitter statements back and forth between the ISS partners leading to questions of how the station would continue to be managed and future joint work.

Even as the Soyuz rocket was thundering into orbit, the seven crew members of Space Shuttle Endeavour were awakened to begin their 10th day in space and immediately told of the news that the rocket was on its way.
Russian flight rules call for the Soyuz spacecraft docked to the station to be exchanged every six months because of concerns about its rocket propellant corroding its fuel tanks and lines, as well as other ship systems that deteriorate in the harsh space environment.
The Soyuz are critical because they serve as emergency escape craft for the expedition crews living and working aboard the frontier outpost.

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.
