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 36 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 36 LE LE ANCEMENT LES HORAIRES 27/05: Présentation de l'équipage à la Commission d'Etat (16:00 TU) 28/05: Début de la retransmission en direct du lancement (19:30 TU) ­ lancement à 20:31 TU 28/05: Conférence post­lancement (23:00 TU) 29/05: Début de la retransmission de l’amarrage à l’ISS (01:30 TU) – amarrage à 02:17 TU 29/05: Début de la retransmission de l’ouverture des écoutilles (03:30 TU) Les horaires sont sujets à modification.

Bush NP-2017-04-014-A-JSC Welcome to the International Space Station The International Space Station (ISS) is an unprecedented human achievement from conception to construction, to operation and long-term utilization of a research platform on the frontier of space. Fully assembled and continuously inhabited by all space agency partners, this orbiting laboratory provides a unique environment in which to conduct multidisciplinary research and technology development that drives space exploration, basic discovery and Earth benefits. The ISS is uniquely capable of unraveling the mysteries of our universe— from the evolution of our planet and life on Earth to technology advancements and understanding the effects of spaceflight on the human body. This outpost also serves to facilitate human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit to other destinations in our solar system through continued habitation and experience.

The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientific research, technology development, exploration and education. As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other government agencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone working together, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth. This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrate each and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year. Regards, MICHAEL T.
