The Soyuz spacecraft is a Russian vehicle designed for transporting astronauts and cargo to and from space, particularly to the International Space Station (ISS). First launched in the 1960s, it has a robust design that ensures safety and reliability. The spacecraft has three main components: the orbital module for operations in space, the descent module for returning to Earth, and the service module that provides support systems. Soyuz has played a crucial role in human spaceflight and continues to be used today, making it one of the most successful and enduring spacecraft in history.
