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 35 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 35 LE LE ANCEMENT LES HORAIRES 27/03: Présentation de l'équipage à la Commission d'Etat (19:00 TU) 28/03: Début de la retransmission en direct du lancement (19:30 TU) ­ lancement à 20:43 TU 28/03: Conférence post­lancement (23:00 TU) 29/03: Début de la retransmission de l’amarrage à l’ISS (01:30 TU) – amarrage à 02:32 TU 29/03: Début de la retransmission de l’ouverture des écoutilles (04:10 TU) Les horaires sont sujets à modification.

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Off t Ert, Fr t Ert A message from the Program Manager for the International Space Station As we reflect on the first 15 years of the International Space Station (ISS), we have achieved much in advancing human knowledge through research, enabling the first steps in commercialization of space, fostering peaceful international cooperation and enabling exploration beyond low earth orbit. e ISS has served as a unique microgravity laboratory to perform over 1600 experiments from researchers in over 80 countries. ese experiments are making discoveries that provide direct benefits to people on Earth and to expand our knowledge to enable humans to work, live and explore further into our solar system than ever before. To kindle the spirit of human exploration, we must invest in our future through education and educators. At every level and across every discipline, teachers inspire and prepare the next generation of tomorrow’s leaders and explorers to shape the course of humankind. I hope you enjoy this calendar featuring highlights over 15 years of human presence onboard the space station. I also hope it will inspire you and your students to learn more about the ISS and its contribution to humanity and what can be accomplished through peaceful global collaboration. Regards, FRONT COVER: A fish-eye lens was used to capture this image of NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman participating in a session of an extravehicular activity (EVA). During the six-hour, MICHAEL T. SUFFREDINI 13-minute spacewalk, Wiseman and European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst (out ISS Program Manager of frame) worked outside the space station’s Quest airlock relocating a failed cooling pump to external stowage and installing gear that provides back up power to external robotics equipment.
