  Soyuz programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Soyuz survived the demise of the manned lunar programme in that it developed into a variety of projects (both military and civilian), mostly in conjunction with space stations.
Soyuz 1 through 11 (1967-1971) were first-generation vehicles, carrying a crew of up to three without spacesuits and distinguished from those following by their bent solar panels and their use of the Igla automatic docking navigation system, which required special radar antennas.

 Space Adventures — Soyuz-TMA Spacecraft < Vehicles < Background Information
The Soyuz TMA spacecraft is designed to serve as the International Space Station's crew return vehicle, acting as a lifeboat in the unlikely event an emergency would require the crew to leave the station.
The Soyuz TMA spacecraft is a replacement for the Soyuz TM, which was used from May 1986 to November 2002 to take astronauts and cosmonauts to Mir and then to the International Space Station beginning in November 2000.
The Soyuz TMA spacecraft is composed of three elements attached end-to-end — the Orbital Module, the Descent Module and the Instrumentation/Propulsion Module.

 SOYUZ!
The Salyut space station was born in the debris of the moon program.
While the Salyut program has had its share of failures and setbacks, its measured and evolutionary approach finally enabled the Soviets to achieve the consistent success their space program had enjoyed prior to the death of Sergei Korolev.
The spacecraft was basically the Soyuz ferry, with all automatic docking systems deleted, solar cells in place of batteries, a universal docking system in place of the standard one, and minor ECS and radio modifications for compatibility with American systems.

The agency's press-release on the matter was entitled "Strengthening of International Positions of Khrunichev Enterprise." However many observers of the Russian space program saw Lockheed's decision as potentially damaging to the future projects at Khrunichev, including the development of the next-generation Angara rocket and the construction of its launch complex in Baikonur.
It confirmed the agency's commitment to modify the Soyuz spacecraft for the missions to the Moon and possibly later, to replace it with a new-generation spacecraft in cooperation with Europe.

 Possibility Raised of Future Without Ariane 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Soyuz program in Europe has been billed as a way of complementing Europe’s heavy-lift Ariane 5 and the small Vega vehicle, still in development, with a middle-range rocket capable of lofting large Earth observation satellites and the smallest of today’s commercial telecommunications satellites.
With Soyuz expected to be fully operational from French Guiana by then, Europe could retain an independent access to space — albeit with hefty Russian support — without Ariane.
Noting that Soyuz cannot carry heavy telecommunications satellites into geostationary orbit, de Lauzun said the Russian vehicle was incapable of handling the current and future military-space needs of France and Europe.

 Spaceflight :Early Soviet Human Spaceflight Program
After a one-year long flight-test program, during which seven Vostoks were launched with varying degrees of success, on April 12, 1961, the first piloted Vostok spaceship lifted off with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, a 27-year-old Air Force major.
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.
The Soyuz program continued with a three-spacecraft “group flight” in October 1969 during which Soyuz-6, Soyuz-7, and Soyuz-8 carried out a number of approaches to each other.
