 Soyuz TM-34 mission to the ISS
Since at least one Soyuz had to be docked to the International Space Station constantly to provide emergency escape for the three-person resident crew, Russia committed to fly a fresh Soyuz to the ISS every six months to replace its predecessor.
The Soyuz spacecraft with a "tail" number 208 became the 4th spacecraft of this type to fly to the ISS.
It was scheduled to replace the Soyuz TM-33, which arrived to the station in November 2001.

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.
At least one three-seat Soyuz spacecraft remains docked to the station at all times to serve as an emergency escape pod, but it must be replaced every six months to ensure that all spacecraft systems remain in good working order.
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 landing of Soyuz TM-34 spaceship last Sunday was "very hard", said crew commander Sergei Zaletin at a briefing in the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre on Monday.
The astronauts looked vigorous indeed, but on looking at their pale faces displaying signs of fatigue one could guess they had had to work hard during the 10 days of the flight.
The astronauts said they were satisfied with the flight, for they had delivered Soyuz TMA-1, a new safety space vehicle, to the station, testing it during the flight.
