Soyuz MS

The Soyuz MS is a Russian spacecraft used to transport astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). It consists of three parts: a crew capsule for crew members, a service module with propulsion and life support, and an orbital module for cargo. The spacecraft is highly reliable and has been in operation for decades, serving as a vital link for crew transfers, supplies, and emergencies. It launches atop a Soyuz rocket and is designed for (re)entry into Earth's atmosphere, safely bringing astronauts home. The Soyuz MS continues to be a cornerstone of human spaceflight to the ISS.
