April 1967 -- Soyuz
The first Soyuz ("Union") spacecraft carried a man into space, setting a precedent for scores of subsequent Soyuz flights. Several modifications were made to the original Soyuz design to refine its use as a transport vehicle, upgrade its electronic and navigation systems, and later adjust it for docking with the Mir space station. Since 1967, Soyuz spacecraft have flown more than 100 cosmonauts on various missions to space. More Views:
