  Soyuz 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Soyuz 5 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union on January 15 1969 that docked with Soyuz 4 in orbit.
When the Soyuz started aerobraking in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, the combined spacecraft sought the most aerodynamically stable position - nose forward, with the heavy descent module facing directly into the air stream with only its light metal entry hatch at the front to protect it.
Soyuz 4 launched first, and was the active vehicle in the docking with Soyuz 5.

 Soyuz spacecraft
The longest serving manned spacecraft in the world, the Soyuz was originally conceived in Sergei Korolev's OKB-1 design bureau for the Soviet effort to explore the Moon at the beginning of the 1960s.
However, long after the Moon race was over, the Soyuz continued ferrying Russian crews to the Salyut and Almaz orbital stations, as well as it performed several solo flights and the historic docking with the US Apollo spacecraft in 1975.
The Soyuz T version of the spacecraft flew its first manned mission in 1980, and since 1986 the Soyuz TM modification of the spacecraft has been delivering crews to the Mir space station.

 Soyuz-TMA 1 - 8 (7K-STMA, 11F732)
The modified Soyuz TMA manned spacecraft has been developed on the basis of a Soyuz TM spacecraft in accordance with intergovernmental agreements between Russia and the USA and is an integral part of the International Space Station (ISS) Complex.
The basic modifications of the Soyuz TM spacecraft are connected with implementation of requirements for enlargement of crew anthropometric parameter range up to the values acceptable for the American astronaut contingent, and with increase of crew protection level from shock loads by decreasing landing speeds and improving shock-absorption of its chairs.
For implementation of the above requirements on the baseline Soyuz TM spacecraft the following basic modifications in layout, design and onboard systems of the descent module (DM) were made without increase of its dimensions:

 Spaceflight :Early Soviet Human Spaceflight Program
The Soyuz complex was originally designed to send two cosmonauts around the Moon on a circumlunar flight.
The Soyuz spacecraft consisted of three modules: a cylindrical “instrument module” housing electrical and propulsion systems, a headlight-shaped reentry module to carry and return the crew, and a spheroid orbital module for the crew to conduct experiments.
Since 1971, the Soyuz has primarily served as a ferry craft for delivering crews and supplies to Soviet/Russian space stations such as Salyut and Mir.

 Cosmonaut Bio: Vladimir Titov 10/02
A veteran of five space flights, Titov served as commander on Soyuz T-8 and Soyuz T-10 in 1983 and Soyuz TM-4 in 1987, and flew on the crew of STS-63 in 1995 and STS-86 in 1997.
The Soyuz descent module was pulled clear by the launch escape system, and after being subjected to 15-17 G’s, the crew landed safely some 2.5 miles (4 km) from the launch vehicle, which apparently exploded seconds after the Soyuz separated.
On February 26, 1988, the two cosmonauts carried out an EVA lasting 4 hours and 25 minutes, during which they removed one of the sections of the solar panel and installed a new one.

But after the flight of Soyuz 3 the "chief designer" (now known to be V.P Mishin) told reporters that the next mission would involve the docking of two Soyuz craft and that "we are already prepared for a new launch" (2).
Indeed, word 4 was found to show variations consistent with such a scheme (8).
The launch time of a Soyuz is 11-12 minutes after the virtual equator crossing, giving a launch time of 0730-0731 UT, in good agreement with the figure 0730 given by Nikolai Kamanin in his diaries.
