Soyuz TM-31 was a Russian passenger transportation spacecraft launched by a Soyuz-U rocket at 07:52 UT on October 31, 2000. The Soyuz-ST is a shorthand name for a Soyuz-2 rocket with ST-type fairing and Fregat upper stage. Launch vehicles used in the Soyuz expendable launch system are manufactured at the Progress State Research and Production Rocket Space Center (TsSKB-Progress) in Samara, Russia. In addition to launching manned Soyuz spacecraft, Soyuz launch vehicles now also launch unmanned Progress supply spacecraft to the International Space Station and commercial launches marketed and operated by TsSKB-Progress and Starsem company. There were 11 Soyuz launches in 2001 and 9 in 2002. Currently, Soyuz vehicles are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northwest Russia. Starting in 2009, Soyuz launch vehicles will also be launched from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. Textures and color maps are included in this package, along with a .psd file of the textures provided. Soyuz-ST is a three-stage carrier rocket equipped with an additional restartable Fregat upper stage. This allows payloads to be lifted into higher orbits, including high circular, elliptical, sun synchronous, geotransfer, and geostationary orbits and departure trajectories. The upper stage may be considered a fourth stage of the rocket but has fully independent flight control and telemetry systems from the rocket. The upper stage and spacecraft are mounted under the large ST fairing similar to the one used on the Ariane 4 launch vehicle. The Soyuz carried a crew of three to dock with the Zvezda module of the International Space Station (ISS) at about 09:21 UT on November 2. The Progress M1-3 cargo craft that was docked with Zvezda was released to make way for the Soyuz. A crew of two Russians and one American spent over three months on the ISS, returning to Earth in an American shuttle (STS-102) in February 2001. In the initial days, the crew brought life support systems online and created a laptop computer network that helped run all systems in the ISS. The remaining months were allotted for exercise and space endurance practice. This crew was the first group of a planned decade-long permanent habitation of the ISS.
