	Soyuz TM-33 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soyuz TM-33 is a Russian astronaut-transporting spacecraft that was launched by a Soyuz-U rocket from Baikonur at 08:59 UT on 21 October 2001.
		This new crew spent eight days on the ISS, and returned on the older Soyuz TM-32 at 03:59 UT on 31 October.

	Soyuz spacecraft
		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.
		The Soyuz TM spacecraft photographed by the Shuttle crew at the docking port of the Mir space station.
		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.

	2002 International Space Station
		Soyuz TMA-1 (#211), ISS Mission 5S (October 30 - November 10), was launched from Baikonur on time at 8:11am local time (10:11pm EST on October 29) on the fourth "taxi" flight to the ISS, to replace the previous CRV, Soyuz TM-34/4S, which reached the end of its certified lifetime on November 11.
		The April 25-May 4 Russian mission Soyuz TM-34 (#208), ISS mission 4S, was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on time at 2:26am EDT on the 3rd "taxi" flight to deliver a fresh crew return vehicle (CRV) to ISS.
		Undocking of the "old" Soyuz TM-33 from the DC-1 Pirs module was seven days later, on May 4 (8:31 pm EDT), and the Soyuz Descent Module landed smoothly near Arkalykh in Kazakhstan at 11:51 pm EDT (9:51 am on May 5, local time).

	Sandcastle V.I. - Spaceflight Directory - Soyuz Flight Details 9
		The Soyuz TMA-1 craft was used by the ISS-6 crew to return to Earth on 05/03/2003, following the destruction of space shuttle Columbia and the grounding of the shuttle fleet in February 2003.
		One major difference between this flight and that of Dennis Tito in April 2002 aboard Soyuz TM-32, was that NASA was more receptive to Shuttleworth's visit to the space station and he underwent orientation training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
		The ISS-6 crew already aboard the station returned to Earth in the Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft that was left there by the October 2002 short-duration crew.

		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.

		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.
		With Soyuz commander Yuri Gidzenko at the controls, the veteran cosmonaut manually flew the seven-ton spacecraft on its final approach to a port on the station's Zarya module.
		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.

	Pravda.RU:Soyuz TM-34 had a "very hard" landing
		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 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.
		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.

		A prime task of the 11-day Odissea mission is to replace the TM-34 Soyuz vehicle currently attached to the Space Station with the new TMA-1 spacecraft, ensuring that the craft that would be used to evacuate the Station’s resident crew in an emergency is always in top condition.
		De Winne will play his part as a Soyuz Flight Engineer in the test flight of the new Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft, alongside Soyuz Mission Commander Sergei Zaletin and Soyuz Flight Engineer Yuri Valentinovich Lonchakov.
		Soyuz Flight Engineer De Winne, the first Belgian astronaut to visit the Space Station and the first non-Russian ever to fly on the first flight of a new Russian vehicle, is the fourth European astronaut to visit the Station.

	New Soyuz TMA spacecraft cleared for next mission with ESA astronaut
		This is only the third time in the history of the Soyuz programme that such a mode of re-entry has occurred, though the ballistic mode is one of four nominal re-entry modes that the Soyuz T, TM and TMA capsules could employ under different conditions.
		The maiden flight of the new series by the Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 30 October 2002.
		The problem, which caused Soyuz TMA-1 to perform the re-entry in ballistic mode and land 150 km north of Baikonur 400 km short of the intended landing site, was due to a failure in the BUSP-M guidance system, which is necessary in order to carry out a controlled re-entry.
