New model?[edit]

What's gonna be different about this model of Soyuz? That might be something to expand upon here. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 10:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what's about that: Soyuz_spacecraft#Soyuz_TMAT_.282009.2F.....29 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.106.1 (talk) 09:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a great deal new about the new Soyuz TMA-01M; some of which is detailed in the article of that name. However, the Soyuz TMA-01A has absolutely nothing to do with a N.A.S.A. launch vehicle. I move that the illustration of the American Space Shuttle, to the right of the masthead banner, should be replaced with a similarly sized representation of the Russian Voskhod (R-7 11A57) rocket.CdnGhost (talk) 14:37, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed {{Current spaceflight}} as it's only intended for use when information is expected to change rapidly, which isn't the case here. Note, however, that the space-shuttle image comes from this template - it's not intended to illustrate the article. You may well see other articles about similar missions with this template - despite the articles not involving the shuttle. TFOWR 14:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"What's gonna be different about this model of Soyuz? That might be something to expand upon here."

Please accept my apologies to you both for not having expanded upon my comment.

What's new about the Soyuz TMA-O1A is that the Russians have broken with their traditional approach to spacecraft, in that the Soyuz TMA-O1A can operate: in fully automated mode, fully manual control and, at times, a little of both. This is the first Russian spacecraft designed after the American Lunar Landers.

The first lunar landing was to have been a fully automated landing. But, at almost the last moment, with only a few pounds of fuel remaining, Neil Armstrong saw that the landing would result in one of its legs being planted on a medium-sized rock, thus making the later lift-off, impossible. Armstrong immediately deactivated the automated control and took manual control of the spacecraft, landing with virtually empty tanks on a flat, level surface.

Had it not been for the truly international "flavour" of the International Space Station, such a spacecraft could never have been built.

Amongst the tasks set out for the Soyuz TMA-O1A is to make a manually controlled non-circular orbit of the entire Space Station. Such a feat would be impossible for the computational abilities of all previous Soyuz, and other, Russian spacecraft.CdnGhost (talk) 20:05, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Significance of binary in patch[edit]

I entered the binary of the patch into an online translator, it reads STMA-01M. I haven't added this to the article because it'll almost certainly be considered original research, but I figured it was worth noting somewhere. 96.51.253.122 (talk) 01:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
