soyuz

hello my friend...now, i want story about soyuz. The Soyuz (Russian: Союз, meaning "union", GRAU index 11A511) is an expendable launch system manufactured by Tskbb-Progress in Samara, Russia. It is used as the launcher for the manned Soyuz spacecraft as part of the Soyuz program. It is now also used to launch unmanned Progress supply spacecraft to the International Space Station and for commercial launches marketed and operated by TsSKB-Progress and the Centre Spatial Guyanais in French Guiana. Soyuz-U rockets are fueled with kerosene, but the Soyuz-U2 rocket used a variant called Syntin. In the United States, it has the Library of Congress designation A-2.
