  Soyuz 5 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union on January 15, 1969, which docked with Soyuz 4 in orbit. It was the first-ever docking of two manned spacecraft, and the first-ever transfer of crew from one space vehicle to another, the only time a transfer was accomplished with a space walk. The flight was also memorable for its dramatic re-entry.

•  Soyuz 3

  Soyuz 3 was the first manned launch of a Soyuz spacecraft after the accident that killed cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov. The ill-fated Soyuz 1 flight had been intended to rendezvous and dock with Soyuz 2. Soyuz 3, with cosmonaut Georgi Beregovoi aboard, became the second attempt to complete the mission. Ground controllers were able to bring the two spacecraft within 200 m (656 ft) of one another before Beregovoi took control of the Soyuz to complete the maneuver.

•  Soyuz 4

  Soyuz 4 was launched on January 14, 1969. On board was cosmonaut Vladimir Shatalov on his first flight. The aim of the mission was to dock with Soyuz 5, transfer two crew members from that spacecraft, and return to Earth. The last three Soyuz flights had attempted this but all had failed for various reasons. The radio call sign of the crew was Amur, while Soyuz 5 was Baikal.

•  Soyuz 6

  Soyuz 6 was part of a joint mission with Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8 that saw three Soyuz spacecraft in orbit together at the same time, carrying seven cosmonauts. The crew of Georgi Shonin and Valeri Kubasov were meant to take high-quality movie photography of Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8 docking but the rendezvous systems on all three spacecraft failed. It is still not known exactly what the actual problem was, but it is often quoted as being a helium pressurization integrity test.

•  Soyuz 7

  Soyuz 7 was part of a joint mission with Soyuz 6 and Soyuz 8 that saw three Soyuz spacecraft in orbit together at the same time, carrying seven cosmonauts. The crew consisted of commander Anatoli Filipchenko, flight-engineer Vladislav Volkov and research-cosmonaut Viktor Gorbatko, whose mission was to dock with Soyuz 8 and transfer crew, as the Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 missions did. Soyuz 6 was to film the operation from nearby. However, this objective was not achieved due to equipment failures.

•  Soyuz 9

  Soyuz 9 was a 1970 Soviet manned space flight. The two-man crew of Andrian Nikolayev and Vitali Sevastyanov broke the five-year-old space endurance record with their nearly 18-day flight. The mission paved the way for the Salyut space station missions, investigating the effects of long-term weightlessness on crew, and evaluating the work that the cosmonauts could do in orbit, individually and as a team.
