Soyuz TMA-11M was a Soyuz spacecraft which launched on 7 November 2013 04:14 UTC. It transported three members of the Expedition 38 crew to the International Space Station. The crew consisted of Mikhail Tyurin, Richard Mastracchio, and Koichi Wakata. 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. Up to six months docked to Space station
