The '''Soyuz TM''' ({{Langx|ru|транспортный модифицированный|lit=Transport Modified|translit=Transportnyi Modifitsirovannyi}}) were fourth generation (1986–2002) [[Soyuz spacecraft]] used for ferry flights to the [[Mir]] and [[International Space Station|ISS]] space stations. The Soyuz spacecraft consisted of four parts, the Orbital Module, the Descent Module and the Service Module.<ref>{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Denise|date=30 July 2013|title=What is the Soyzu Spacecraft|url=https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/what-is-the-soyuz-spacecraft-58|website=nasa.gov}}</ref>

The first launch of the spacecraft was the uncrewed Soyuz TM-1 on May 21, 1986, where it docked with the Mir space station.<ref name=":0">{{cite book|last=Portree|first=David S.|title=Mir Hardware Heritage|publisher=NASA|year=1995|url=http://www.spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/shuttle-mir/references/documents/mirheritage.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030709171731/http://www.spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/shuttle-mir/references/documents/mirheritage.pdf |archive-date=2003-07-09 |pages=53–59}}</ref>  The final flight was [[Soyuz TM-34]], which docked with the International Space Station and landed November 10, 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/ISSRG/pdfs/soyuz_missions.pdf |title=Soyuz ISS Missions |publisher=NASA |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202114355/http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/ISSRG/pdfs/soyuz_missions.pdf |archive-date=2011-12-02 }}</ref>

== Background ==
After the [[Apollo–Soyuz|Apollo-Soyuz Test project]] in 1976, the Soyuz for crewed flights had the singular mission of supporting crewed space stations.<ref name=":1">{{cite book|last=Portree|first=David S.|title=Mir Hardware Heritage|publisher=NASA|year=1995|pages=6–7}}</ref>  The original Soyuz had a limited endurance when docked with a station, only about 60 to 90 days.<ref name=":1" />  There were two avenues for extending the duration of missions past this.  The first avenue was to make upgrades to increase the Soyuz spacecraft's endurance.  The Soyuz-T could last 120 days and the Soyuz-TM could last 180 days.<ref name=":1" />  The other was to use a Visiting Expedition to fly a new Soyuz up to the station and depart with the spacecraft nearing the end of its rated endurance.<ref name=":1" />

The preliminary design was released in April 1981 and the main set of working documentation was released in early 1982.<ref>{{cite web|title=Soyuz TM (7K-STM) spacecraft|url=http://www.gctc.ru/main.php?id=304|website=gctc.ru}}</ref>

==Upgrades from Soyuz-T==

=== Orbital Module ===
With the growth of orbital complexes, the Soyuz-T used the [[Igla_(spacecraft_docking_system)|Igla]] system that required continuous orientation with the station and had high fuel costs.  The Soyuz-TM was upgraded with the [[Kurs (docking navigation system)|Kurs]] system that did not require the same orientation from the station and allowed measurements from a range of 200&nbsp;km instead of the 30&nbsp;km of the Igla.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|title=Soyuz TM manned transport spacecraft|url=https://www.energia.ru/ru/iss/soyuz-tm/soyuz-tm.html|website=energia.ru}}</ref>

=== Descent Module ===
It also increased the payload to 51.6° orbit by 200–250&nbsp;kg and was able to return 70–90&nbsp;kg more back to earth. Energia accomplished this by increasing the capabilities of the launch vehicle and decreasing the mass of the ship.<ref name=":2" />  The parachute system mass  was decreased by 120&nbsp;kg (40%) by using synthetic material for the slings and lightweight material for the parachute domes.<ref name=":2" />

=== Propulsion/Service Module ===
It also featured a new [[KTDU-80]] propulsion module that permitted the Soyuz-TM to maneuver independently of the station, without the station making "mirror image" maneuvers to match unwanted translations introduced by earlier models' aft-mounted attitude control.  It also used the baffles inside the tanks became structural, allowing further reduction in mass.

== Typical Flight for Soyuz-TM ==

=== Training ===
[[File:The "old" Soyuz TM control panel (6098246974).jpg|thumb|Soyuz TM control panel simulator]]
Classroom training is completed on Soyuz systems and required crew operations.  Cosmonauts must pass an oral test on the material for certification.  Training was also completed on Soyuz mockups and simulators.  Two weeks before launch, after passing all the tests, the crew is flown to Baikonur to participate in a test at the launch site to go through all the steps associated with the launch.<ref>{{cite web|last=OSMA Assessments Team|title=NASA Astronauts on Soyuz: Experience and Lessons for the Future|url=https://sma.nasa.gov/SignificantIncidents/assets/nasa-astronauts-on-soyuz.pdf|website=sma.nasa.gov}}</ref>

=== For Flight Readiness ===
The final decision to launch is made by the assembly company (General Designer).<ref name=":3">{{cite book|last=OSMA Assessments Team|title=NASA Astronauts on Soyuz: Experience and Lessons for the Future|publisher=NASA|year=2010|url=https://sma.nasa.gov/SignificantIncidents/assets/nasa-astronauts-on-soyuz.pdf|pages=12–13}}</ref>  There is a Space Committee formed of approximately 20 people headed by a 3-star General for Air and Space with the following representation:

* [[Roscosmos|RSA]]
* [[Energia (corporation)|NPO-Energia]]
* General Designer
* Central Institute of Machine Building
* [[Ministry of Defence (Russia)|Ministry of Defense]] 
* Physicians
* Baikonur

When different companies/countries are involved, they are represented as well at on the Space Committee.  For Soyuz launches, the Ministry of Defense representative states that everything has been checked because all preparations at Baikonur are performed by the military.  Independent assessment is made by the Central Institute of Machine Building for every flight.<ref name=":3" />  Cosmonauts had to get clearance from the Russian Medical Commission, the Institute of Biomedical Problems and the GCTC at the flight readiness Review.<ref name=":3" />
