Au fil des ans, il a subi des modifications, notamment suite aux accidents de Soyuz 1 en 1967 (parachutes qui se sont mal déployés lors du retour sur Terre) et Soyuz 11 (dépressurisation lors du retour sur Terre), mais aussi un lifting. Dans sa première version, Soyuz a volé jusqu’en 1981. Dans la version T, il s’est amarré aux différentes stations spatiales Salyut de 1980 jusqu’à l’arrivé de Mir en 1986. A cette date, c’est la version TM qui a pris le relais puis TMA à partir de 2002. Depuis décembre 2011, seule la version numérique de Soyuz TMA est utilisée, à savoir Soyuz TMA M. Soyuz en chiffres : Masse au décollage : 7 250 kg Nombre de passagers : 3 avec combinaison spatiale Largeur : 10,6 m panneaux solaires déployés (2,7 m non déployés) Hauteur : 7,2 m Volume habitable : +/­ 10 m³ Manuel de la mission Expedition 34 8 LE VAISSEAU Module orbital Module orbital quasi sphérique (2,2 m de diamètre pour 2,6 m de haut) pesant environ 1 300 kg. Il est situé au sommet du vaisseau et comprend les antennes et le collier d’amarrage. L’équipage s’en sert pour se dégourdir les jambes entre le lancement et l’amarrage quelques 48 heures plus tard environ. Dans ce module, on y entrepose une partie du matériel, effets personnels et diverses expériences, soit une masse de 230 kg maximum. Module de descente Module dans lequel l’équipage est assis au moment du lancement et de l’atterrissage. C’est la seule partie qui revient sur Terre, protégée par un bouclier thermique largable en vol. Il mesure 2,1 m de haut pour 2,2 m de diamètre. Il pèse quelques 2 900 kg. Il peut également transporter des effets personnels, à concurrence de 50 kg pour 3 personnes. Module technique et de propulsion Cylindre de 2,5 m de haut pour 2,7 m de diamètre à la base. On y retrouve les moteurs, les réservoirs de carburants et les panneaux solaires. 9 Manuel de la mission Expedition 34 LE LE ANCEMENT LES HORAIRES 18/12: Présentation de l'équipage à la Commission d'Etat (21:00 TU) 19/12: Début de la retransmission en direct du lancement (11:00 TU) ­ lancement à 12:12 TU 19/12: Conférence post­lancement (15:00 TU) 21/12: Début de la retransmission de l’amarrage à l’ISS (13:30 TU) – amarrage à 14:12 TU 21/12: Début de la retransmission de l’ouverture des écoutilles (16:15 TU) Les horaires sont sujets à modification.

  • Canadian Commands Space Station for First Time 13 March 2013
    Canadian commands space station for first time 13 March 2013 into the ship and everyone would think you were stealing it." Hadfield, 53, rocketed into space in December on a 147-day mission. It was his third trip into space and his second to the ISS. He took the helm of the ISS—which orbits the Earth from a distance of 350 kilometers (217 miles), circling the planet every 90 minutes at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour—as three astronauts from the previous mission departed for home. As ISS commander, Hadfield will oversee the station's operations, including over 100 scientific experiments, and be responsible for the safety of the crew and the station. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield speaks with a journalist at the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, (c) 2013 AFP outside Moscow, on November 28, 2012. Hadfield became the first Canadian to assume command of the International Space Station. With the ringing of a ceremonial bell in space to mark a crew change, astronaut Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian to assume command of the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Canadian Space Agency called it "a historic milestone for our country." Hadfield said in a Twitter message that outgoing Expedition 34 commander Kevin Ford of NASA handed him the "keys" to the spaceship, marking the start of the Hadfield-led Expedition 35. The two men also shook hands and gave short speeches, and Ford offered Hadfield a few gifts. A fan back on Earth, meanwhile, offered Hadfield this advice in a Twitter message: "Don't lock your keys inside the spaceship.

These include the Facility for Absorption and Surface Tension (FASTER) investigation, provided by the European Space Agency, which will study how surfactants (surface acting agents that reduce the surface tension of water, such as soap) are affected by microgravity. Additionally, a Canadian Space Agency investigation called Microflow1 will be the first demonstration in space of a miniaturized flow cytometer that will to allow doctors and scientists to quantify molecules and cells in blood.

Since the conclusion of the PromISSe mission, European Human Research: research has still been very busy during ISS Expedition 32, which concluded in September 2012, Expedition 33 which Neuroscience concluded in November 2012 and Expedition 34 which Gravity plays a fundamental role in our perception of our concluded in March 2013. These European research activities environment on earth.
