Question 2: Q:   Describe the Soyuz spacecraft. What is its purpose? How many people can it hold? Where does it launch and land? What is the numbering system for the missions? http://ewilkening99.googlepages.com/soyuz.pdf **Video #1

A: Soyuz spacecraft have been in use since the mid-1960s and have been upgraded periodically. Soyuz can support three suited crewmembers for up to 3 days.
