Soyuz TMA-09M (Soyuz Programme) Black Coffee Mug

The Soyuz TMA-09M is a spacecraft that belongs to the Soyuz Programme, a human-rated manned spacecraft system operated by Roscosmos, Russia's federal space agency. This particular mission, designated as TMA-09M, was launched in 2013 and carried three crew members—two Russian cosmonauts and one American astronaut—to the International Space Station (ISS). The Soyuz spacecraft is essential for transporting crew to and from the ISS as part of international cooperation in low-Earth orbit exploration. It consists of a launch vehicle, an orbital module designed for living quarters, and a reentry module that safely brings the crew back to Earth upon landing. The TMA-09M mission is one of several Soyuz missions supporting continuous human presence on the ISS since 2000.
