Mission Spacecraft
Soyuz MS-30
Soyuz MS-30 (11F732A48 #760) is the spacecraft assigned to this mission. It is a ROSCOSMOS Capsule designed for Manned and Cargo ISS Logistics, Lifeboat and will travel to International Space Station.
Soyuz capsule for the MS-30 mission to the ISS. Soyuz is a series of spacecraft designed for the Soviet space programme by the Korolyov Design Bureau (now RKK Energia) in the 1960s that remains in service today. The Soyuz succeeded the Voskhod spacecraft and was originally built as part of the Soviet Manned Lunar programme. The Soyuz spacecraft is launched on a Soyuz rocket, the most frequently used and most reliable launch vehicle in the world to date. The Soyuz rocket design is based on the Vostok launcher, which in turn was based on the 8K74 or R-7A Semyorka, a Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile. All Soyuz spacecraft are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. 210 days while docked
