Soyuz TMA LiftOff Baykonur

Go now with us on a journey, to take apart of one of the greatest and largest adventures of mankind.

At first, you will feel the great Russian hospitality in Star City, then walk with us on the steps of the journey of the Russian space history from the past, into present and out into the future. You visit the different trainings facilities of the GCTC (Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre) at Russian Star City. Here, Russians, Americans, Europeans and Japanese cosmonauts and astronauts train for their flight into the universe, what will start at the Russian cosmodrome "Baykonur" in Kazhakhztan. From this cosmodrome, the first satellite of the World - "Sputnik" was launched (1957), and since the first human space flight of Yuri A. Gagarin (12. April 1961), from this port there were over 1.200 spacecrafts launched into the universe.

Then, the absolute high point of your journey: the start of a manned mission to the International Space Station ISS. 2 or 3 daring cosmonauts and astronauts from different nations go on board a Soyuz TMA, and within 8 minutes they are with their space craft in Earth orbit. 2 days later they will dock with the ISS. You will see the lift off preperations, and watch the liftoff in a distance of approx. 2.000 meters beside the powerful Soyuz rocket. Nowhere else in the world, you can see a liftoff of an spacecraft nearer then here.

Specialists from space technology and history will accompany you around the clock on your trip. Locally specialists are beside you, who will answer you the difficult questions.

so how come the rockets dont blast out a monster smoke trail like the US shuttle rockets do?

[SEL9000]

@gacwalker The first stage included the boosters are using only liquid propellant, means kerosene and LOX. Not as the Space Shuttle Boosters, what used with its boosters solid fuel.

@SEL9000 How are they going to get back to eath? They used a rocket, rockets don't have weals to land. So how are they going to do it?

[SEL9000]

@Thetrutv Try searching here on YouTube "Soyuz Landing" and you will see it. ;)
