Soyuz TMA-05M (Soyuz Programme) Black Coffee Mug

The Soyuz TMA-05M is a manned spacecraft that was part of the Soyuz program, which has been Russia's primary crewed spacecraft since the retirement of the Soyuz 7K-LV series in 1986. Launched on December 14, 2012, Soyuz TMA-05M was the 113th mission to visit the International Space Station (ISS). It was designed to transport three crew members to and from low Earth orbit, with two separate modules: an orbital module for living and a reentry module for returning to Earth. The spacecraft was initially launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan atop a Soyuz-FG carrier rocket, and docked with the ISS on December 16, 2012. It returned to Earth safely with its crew on May 15, 2013, landing near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan. The Soyuz TMA-05M mission supported continuous human presence on the ISS as part of the joint endeavor between multiple space agencies worldwide.
