Status: Operational 2002. First Launch: 2002-10-30. Last Launch: 2015-09-02. Number: 40 . Thrust: 3.92 kN (881 lbf). Gross mass: 7,220 kg (15,910 lb). Unfuelled mass: 6,320 kg (13,930 lb). Specific impulse: 305 s. Height: 6.98 m (22.90 ft). Diameter: 2.20 m (7.20 ft). Span: 10.70 m (35.10 ft). It incorporated several changes to accommodate NASA requirements, including more latitude in the height and weight of the crew and improved parachute systems. The spacecraft also incorporates two new amber cockpit displays. In addition to the three crew, the TMA could deliver up to 100 kg of payload to the station and return up to 50 kg. From 2009 Soyuz TMA's flew with the new TsVM-101 computer in place of the old Argon-16 (introduced on Soyuz-T in the 1970's). The TsVM-101 was much more capable, much smaller, and 9 times lighter (8.3 kg vs. 70 kg). In connection with this the analogue telemetry system was replaced by a smaller digital system. This modifications was originally planned in the late 1990's, but shelved for financial reasons. However the NII Argon design bureau discontinued production of the old computer, forcing RKK Energia to fund development of the TsVM-101 at NII Submikron in Tselenograd. Soyuz TMA's equipped with the new computers received the new article number 11F732A47 with a new serial number series beginning with 701. The computers were installed in the service module. In a second modification, but no earlier than 2010 the KS-020M descent module computer, used for control during re-entry, would be replaced with the TsVM-101, which would be moved from the service module to the descent module.
Crew Size: 3. Orbital Storage: 200 days. Habitable Volume: 9.00 m3. Spacecraft delta v: 390 m/s (1,270 ft/sec). Electric System: 0.60 average kW.
