Soyuz launch vehicle

The Soyuz launch vehicle is a reliable Russian spacecraft that transports astronauts and supplies to space. It consists of three stages that work together to lift its payload into orbit. The first stage provides most of the thrust to escape Earth's gravity, dropping away once its fuel is spent. The second and third stages continue to propel and position the spacecraft accurately toward its destination. Known for its durability and safety record, Soyuz has been a key vehicle for crew transport to the International Space Station for decades, making it a cornerstone of human spaceflight operations.
