Descent Module

Soyuz TM-14 descent module, 1992

This spacecraft made the 14th flight to the Mir space station, and was the first Soyuz mission of the Russian Federation. TM craft were used to ferry three-man cosmonaut and astronaut teams to and from Mir and the International Space Station between 1986 and 2002. Soyuz is now the only way of sending cosmonauts and astronauts to the International Space Station.
