Overview
Soyuz TM-30 was a privately funded mission to the Mir space station. It was the first privately paid for spaceflight in history and was designed as the first of several MirCorp missions to offer the station for commercial use. Those plans ultimately did not happen, and this proved to be the final visit of humans to Mir. It was time to move on to the International Space Station.

Soyuz
Soyuz is a human-carrying capsule built and operated by Russia, capable of transporting up to three people to the Space Station at a time. It has been upgraded numerous times since its first use in the 1960s for the Soviet lunar program and was the only crewed vehicle for the Station from 2011 to 2020.
