[edit] Number of modules

  • A Soyuz spacecraft in its crew transfer version consists of five modules. There are three pressurized modules: the Habitable Module, the Descent Module, and the Instrument Module. There are two unpressurized modules: the Adapter Module, and the Assembly Module. The article should be corrected to reflect this.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.138.207.139 (talk • contribs)
Of course it would be great to cite a source for this! (Sdsds - Talk) 21:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] L1

[edit] L3 naming

All of soviet space systems (spacecrafts, launchers etc) after development under letter-figure designation with start of open using obtained the official full name in the form of any word. Moreover, for some systems the full name were given before or without the exploitation: Almaz spacestation by Chelomey bureau, Sever spacecraft by Korolyuov bureau, Zvezda military spacecraft by Kozlov bureau (predecessor of 7K-VI), etc. From the Soyuz family the circumlunar spacecraft 7K-L1 became Zond. What official or unofficial full name was intended for L3 complex (or for 7K-L3 and 7K-LK separately)?

[edit] Versions

I'm adding infoboxes for several Soyuz versions, as a first step in moving that information into separate articles. Not a very nice layout right now, but keeps all info in one place. Ricnun 22:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, created pages for all the different versions, and moved most of the images and data there. Let's see how this works over time. Ricnun 00:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dimensions

Says diameter is 13.61 ft/2.72 m and height 57.44 ft/7.48 m . Isn't a meter just over 3 feet?69.95.76.15 23:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

57.44 feet = 17.507712 meters. Maybe someone lost the leading "1"? (sdsds - talk) 04:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soyuz LK-XX subsections

it is unclear to me the differences and relationships between the different LK-XX spacecraft.. but it strikes me that instead of having a different subsection for each one, the reader would benefit more from have a couple of paragraphs outlining the differences, and developments. i'll take a crack at this, but i might get something wrong.

[edit] Deeper meaning of name

I reverted this edit, which was made with the comment, "Deeper meaning to 'Soyuz' in relation to Soviet nationalism". I would like to have this content be part of Wikipedia, but I was concerned that it was not properly sourced and may not have been NPOV. Also, the soyuz programme article might be a better place for discussion of the meaning of the name. (sdsds - talk) 20:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Preformance

This article lacks one of most important statistic for any spacecraft: how much was flown and how much succesfully. I know about two flights that ended in LOC, but how much was flown in general?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madcio (talk • contribs) 16:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
