Studio ready and action. Hello everyone. We are today live from the studio. First of all we are glad to announce that our 10 days short episode has been a great success. In this video, we are going to talk about the use of the Soyuz spacecraft and its history. Soyuz is a spacecraft built by the Rasain Space Agency also known as Roscosmos. To know more about its history let us now listen to our special correspondent. Hello everyone. Today we are going to talk about the Soyuz spacecraft. The word Soyuz means Union. The Soyuz was originally built in the 1960s by the Russian Space Agency as a spacecraft which would land people on the moon. It was built as a part of the Cold War and the race to the moon and going on between United States of America and Russia to land the first man on moon. The Cold War was a war going on in the 1960s between United States of America and Russia. This led to the race to the moon to land the first man on the surface of moon. At that point of time both Russia and United States of America were racing against each other to land the first man on moon. If Chilean America succeeded and landed the first man on moon on 20th of July 1969. Following that the Soyuz is used as a commercial transport. Vacial to space. Later on the Russian Space Agency started to build space station on the orbit of Earth which led the Soyuz to be used as a transport Vacial between space station and the Earth. To use the spacecraft as a transportation Vacial the Soyuz practice docking with another Soyuz capsule. Father on. In a historic moment to end the Cold War both the Apollo and the Soyuz docked in the orbit of Earth. The commanders of both spacecraft shook hand in the space. These historic moments were televised on television. This project was known as Apollo Soyuz Test Project. The historic moment of the first docking of American and a Russian capsule took place on 17th of July 1975 at 1609 and 9 seconds UTC. The original Soyuz spacecraft was upgraded with necessary features for docking to other spacecraft. To continue the transportation of Soyuz capsule to the orbit of Earth and docking to various space station it has been upgraded time to time. It has docked with slide stations and the mere station and currently it regularly docks with the International Space Station. In one of the uptoordation the Soyuz was interrogated with the Curse docking system which is the latest Russian docking system to dock to the International Space Station. This feature was added in the Soyuz DM version. The Soyuz is locked on the Soyuz rocket which is 50 meters tall from the Baikonor Cosmodrome and Kazakhstan. The sighted Kazakhstan provides the rocket a free-speed boost as it travels towards the east and Kazakhstan was a part of Soviet Union. Hence the Soyuz rocket is yet launched from Baikonor Cosmodrome and Kazakhstan. The Soyuz has three modules known as the Habitation Module followed by the Descent Module and the Service Module. The Descent Module is the only part which returns to Earth and it is only where crew members sit during launch and landing and other important procedure. The Soyuz can only fit three crew members. Just for your information Roscosmos has built another spacecraft to only transport cargo which is known as Progress. I would like to thank our special correspondent for giving us such valuable information on the Soyuz. The Soyuz is one of the oldest spacecraft in history which is yet in use and it will continue its journey to space. As the journey of space continues more futuristic vehicles are coming up which will also become a part of the transportation vehicle to the outer space. Thank you very much and we hope you have enjoyed the video throughly. Thank you very much for watching the last minute views of the ocean and goodbye. .
