 Space Today Online - Soyuz transports cosmonauts and astronauts to the International Space Station
Soyuz TMA-3 was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome to the ISS on October 18, 2003, carrying the Expedition 8 crew – American astronaut and commander Michael Foale and Russian cosmonaut and flight engineer Alexander "Sasha" Kaleri – as well as ESA's Spanish astronaut Pedro Duque.
Soyuz TMA-4 was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome to the ISS on April 19, 2004, carrying the Expedition 9 crew to relieve the Expedition 8 crew.
Soyuz TMA-5 was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome to the ISS on October 14, 2004, carrying the Expedition 10 crew to relieve the Expedition 9 crew.

 Station Information - Soyuz 7
Soyuz 7 was part of a joint mission with Soyuz 6 and Soyuz 8 that saw three Soyuz spacecraft in orbit together at the same time, carrying seven cosmonauts.
Soviet sources were later to claim that no docking had been intended, but this seems unlikely, given the docking adapters carried by the spacecraft, and the fact that the Soyuz 8 crew were both veterans of the previous successful docking mission.
This was the last time that the Soviet crewed Moon landing hardware was tested in orbit, and the failure seems to have been one of the final nails in the coffin of the programme.

The Soyuz 5 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union on January 15, 1969 that docked with Soyuz 4 in orbit.
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.

A significant portion of the mission was to involve automatic rendezouvs and docking of Soyuz 7 and i, the observation of this procuedre by the crew of Soyuz 6, and the cosmonaut-controlled rendezvous of Soyuz t with the other two.
The attempt by Soyuz 6 to carryout a cosmonaut-controlled rendezvous with the other two spacecraft failed because of insufficient time to correct for a three kilometer out-of-plane separation between it and the other vehicles.
The final manual attempt at rendezvous and docking between Soyuz 7 and 8 was poorly timed and the vehicles could not establish the correct interval and relative velocity between them required for a docking operatoin before they entered the earth's shadow." That is the complete text, no redactions.

Soyuz could accomplish this without expensive retro-rockets, he told RIA Novosti, by plowing through Earth's upper atmosphere twice -- the first time temporarily to slow itself down, and the second time for good in order to land.
The Soyuz is a highly modified version of the spacecraft that first orbited the Earth in 1967.
The Soyuz fleet proved reliable enough to help the Russian space program survive during the lean years by generating tens of millions in income shuttling tourists into orbit.
