Soyuz Soviet rocket
Soyuz Soviet rocket carrying a Progress transporter. Soyuz was an expendable carrier rocket that was used by the Soviet Union to launch spacecraft as part of the Soyuz programme. It was initially used on unmanned test flights, but then launched the first 19 manned launches of the program. Progress is a Russian expendable freight spacecraft that is an unmanned resupply vehicle during its flight but allows access to astronauts when docked with the International Space Station (ISS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Soyuz Soviet rocket carrying a Progress transporter, representing a significant milestone in space exploration. The Soyuz rocket, an engineering marvel of the 20th century, played a pivotal role in the Soviet Union's ambitious space program. Initially utilized for unmanned test flights, it later became instrumental in launching the first 19 manned missions of the Soyuz program. The Progress transporter, seen docked with the International Space Station (ISS), is a remarkable Russian freight spacecraft that serves as an invaluable resupply vehicle during its flight. This technological masterpiece allows astronauts aboard the ISS to access essential supplies and equipment necessary for their mission. With historical significance deeply rooted in early space travel and engineering achievements, this photograph transports us back to an era when scientific breakthroughs were shaping our understanding of outer space. From Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, where countless rockets have been launched into orbit since the 1900s, this image captures both the power and beauty of rocketry. Detlev van Ravenswaay skillfully captures this momentous occasion through his lens, highlighting not only the sheer magnitude of these spacecraft but also paying homage to those brave cosmonauts who ventured beyond Earth's atmosphere. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond our planet's boundaries.
