Russia's Spaceship - Soyuz

Since the end of the Space Shuttle program, Soyuz (союз) has been the only vehicle taking astronauts to the International Space Station. Soyuz is operated by the Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos. The Soyuz system consists of the Soyuz rocket and the Soyuz spacecraft and dates back to the earliest days of spaceflight. Over the decades, Soyuz has gradually improved to keep up with the times and now fills a very crucial part of ISS operations. In this video, we’ll take a look at the assembly of the Soyuz rocket, the launch staging, the launch abort system, the Soyuz docking mechanism called SSVP and finally the reentry and landing process.
