The Soyuz TMA-02M is a manned spacecraft that serves as part of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) program, under the larger umbrella of the Soyuz Programme. This specific mission (TMA-02M) was launched in 2010 and marked the 45th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS since 2000. The Soyuz TMA series has been instrumental in transporting crew members to and from the orbiting laboratory since 2002. Each Soyuz spacecraft is designed for a maximum crew size of three astronauts and is capable of remaining docked at the ISS for approximately six months. The Soyuz Programme, which began in 1967, is one of the longest-operating human spaceflight programs globally, with its heritage dating back to the early Soviet Union's space exploration efforts.
