  Soyuz 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
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 TMA-5 mission to the ISS
The mission of the Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft to the International Space Station in the fall of 2004, was originally intended to be a routine exchange of a rescue vehicle onboard the outpost.
The Soyuz TMA-5 successfully docked to the Docking Compartment on the Russian segment of the ISS on Saturday October 16, 2004 at 0416 GMT.
The reentry of the ISS Soyuz 9 spacecraft was flawless.

 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.
Soyuz is a medium-class launcher and its performance will complement perfectly that of the ESA launchers: Ariane and Vega.
The Soyuz rocket is the workhorse of the Russian human spaceflight missions and has been used for that purpose longer than any other spacecraft.

 Soyuz TM-5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On September 5 cosmonauts Alexandr Lyakhov and Abdul Ahad Mohmand undocked from Mir.
According to James Oberg (“Secrets of Soyuz”), in order to restart the automatic descent program for the second burn attempt, Lyakhov had to instruct the computer to ignore the first shutdown.
The cosmonauts were forced to remain in orbit a further day in the cramped quarters of the Descent Module with minimal food and water and no sanitary facilities.

 Wikipedia: Soyuz 5
The Soyuz 5 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union on January 15 1969 which docked with Soyuz 4 in orbit.
Volynov remained behind on the Soyuz 5, and returned to Earth in a truly remarkable re-entry.
The local temperature was -38°C, and knowing that it would be many hours before rescue teams could reach him Volynov abandoned the capsule and walked for several kilometers to reach a local peasant's house to keep warm.

 Soyuz 5
The Soyuz 5 target spacecraft was equipped with the 'Konus' receptacle.
Once the Soyuz started reaching the tendrils of the atmosphere, the combined spacecraft sought the most aerodynamically stable position - nose forward, with the heavy descent module with its light metal entry hatch at the front, the less dense service module with its flared base to the back.
Instead the automatic rendezvous began on 16 January at 13:37 GMT on the 34th revolution of Soyuz 4 and the 18th revolution of Soyuz 5.

 Soyuz 5
As for Soyuz, a 0+1 (docking of one unmanned spacecraft and a manned spacecraft with a single cosmonaut aboard) is planned for 25 October, to be followed by a 1+3 mission with a crew transfer by December at the earliest - possibly not until February-March of the following year.
Soyuz spacecraft 12 and 13 have begun their 45 day preparation cycle at Baikonur, which implies a 15 January 1969 launch for he Soyuz 4/5 mission.
After Soyuz 5 is in orbit, it and Soyuz 4 begin their mutual series of manoeuvres for rendezvous and docking.

 Soyuz
Soyuz 4 landed at 06:51 GMT 48 km south-west of Karaganda, 40 km from the planned point, with the crew of Khrunov, Shatalov and Yeliseyev aboard.
After the landing of Soyuz 6 there are two further attempts to dock Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8, but they fail due to large errors in the ballistic calculations of the manoeuvres necessary to correct their orbits.
Soyuz 7 is to land on orbit 97, beginning a 95 m/s retrofire impulse at 11:44:11.

 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:

 June 2002, Flight Journal - "Soyuz 5's Flaming Return"
As his Soyuz landing capsule plunged wrong-way-forward into the flames of atmospheric re-entry and smoke filled the cabin, he and everyone in Mission Control in Moscow assumed he was about to die.
The "Moon Race" was in full swing, and the Soyuz double flight had tested the space-walking techniques that were to be used by Soviet cosmonauts during their planned moon landing, which they hoped would be ahead of the Americans.
The 34-year-old rookie space pilot had completed the course change back to Earth, and the Soyuz spaceship then was supposed to jettison its extra modules so that the headlight-shaped "Descent Module" could enter the atmosphere safely.

 Russia's astronaut manually docked the Soyuz TMA-5
The Soyuz TMA-5 aircraft was "re-parked" on Monday to free Russia's Pirs module for the current crew to be able to get into space.
When Soyuz was there, it could have caused discomfort for the crew in case of emergency, for example, decompression, and therefore, it is always better to return onboard the station straightaway, and not through Soyuz," Viktor Blagov, deputy head of the ISS flight, said earlier.
At 12.29 Moscow time, Soyuz TMA-5 with Russian Salizhan Sharipov and American Leroy Chiao onboard was undocked from the Pirs module and in about half an hour, it was docked to the docking port of the Russian Zarya module by Sharipov.

Space Station crewmembers, Soyuz Commander Salizhan Sharipov and Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao, flew their Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft from the Pirs Docking Compartment to a docking port about 45 feet away on the Zarya module.
They rotated the Soyuz to align it with the new docking port, then slowly maneuvered it toward Zarya.
In preparation for the Soyuz relocation, Chiao and Sharipov had configured the Station to operate without a crew, in the unlikely event that they were unable to redock the Soyuz.

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).
The launch of the first craft was initially planned for January 13, but a problem in the launch vehicle delayed the lift-off by one day (6).
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.
