The Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft and its booster were moved to the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a railcar on December 19, 2011, for final preparations prior to launch to the International Space Station on December 21. The TMA-03M will carry Expedition 30 Soyuz Commander Oleg Kononenko, NASA Flight Engineer Don Pettit and European Space Agency Flight Engineer Andre Kuipers to the complex. The trio will spend five months on the outpost, joining station Commander Dan Burbank of NASA and Russian Flight Engineers Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, who have been in orbit for just over a month.

  • Cosmonauts and Astronauts unite.

  • when my country could built this kind of aircraft?

  • Apollo (saturn V) and the Soyuz are my two favorite rockets.

  • I miss the space shuttle and I have always been a NASA buff, but have you seen how these guys launch? They let these things go up in IFR conditions, nothing short of a piece of broken hardware stops them. They are like Cessna or Grumman airplanes fueled by liquid oxygen and rocket grade kerosene and just as reliable. This is how the rest of us need to build rockets if we are to compete.

  • @drunksmokingjurkk The Soyuz spacecraft is currently the most reliable human spaceflight system, so, no.

  • Good Luck and God Speed from California USA!

  • Totally absorbing film..fascinating!!

  • In no particular order. Soyuz, Saturn are my to favorite rockets... Whatching them asseble a soyuz is a real treat! Thanks Russia! I love you guys!

  • Sadly in America, NASA is being abandon and space research could lead to new technology and possibly a new fuel to take the place of gas. We need space technology to advance our science exploration, medical science, and alterntive fuel and energy. It would bring hope for our world.
