  Soyuz 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soyuz 1 (Russian Союз 1, Union 1) was part of the Soviet Union's space program and was launched into orbit on April 23, 1967, carrying a single cosmonaut, Colonel Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov, who was killed when the spacecraft crashed after its return to Earth.
The crew on the second Soyuz prepared to fix the solar panel of Soyuz 1, but heavy rain at Baikonur made the launch impossible.
Soyuz 1 problems delayed the launch of Soyuz 2 and Soyuz 3 until October 25, 1968.

 Soyuz
The Soyuz draft project was submitted to the expert commission on 20 March 1963.
Soyuz VI was developed form the original Soyuz draft project.
The L1A consisted of a modified Soyuz L1 service module attached to an LOK-sized flange, with a circumlunar Soyuz descent module, topped by an odd hybrid propulsion module derived from that to be used on the LOK and LK lunar lander.

 Definition of Soyuz 18a
Soyuz 18 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union but which failed to achieve orbit due to a serious malfunction during launch.
The Soyuz 18 mission was supposed to be the second mission to take cosmonauts to the Soviet Salyut 4 space station.
Both cosmonauts were on their second mission; they had flown their first mission together, Soyuz 12 in September 1973 to test a new type of Soyuz spacecraft.

 Soyuz 5 Details, Meaning Soyuz 5 Article and Explanation Guide
The Soyuz 5 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union on January 15 1969 which 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.

 Space Exploration [encyclopedia]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Solar System exploration has provided reconnaissance as far as Neptune, in-depth exploration of Mars and Venus, and detailed study of the Moon; the study of comets and asteroids is less advanced.
Human activity has been demonstrated even to the point of crewed lunar landings (Apollo programme, 1969-72) and continuing space station occupancy (Salyut and Mir space stations), but remains dangerous and costly.
Launch vehicle advances have achieved a re-usable crewed orbiter (US space shuttle), but inexpensive, reliable transportation is still in the future.
