From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soyuz is a series of spacecraft designed by Sergey Korolyov for the Soviet Union's space program. The first manned launch was in 1967 and they are still in service. The Soyuz has launched more manned space missions than any other platform to date. They were later used to carry cosmonauts to and from the Salyut and Mir space stations and are now used for transport to and from the ISS.
