Overview
Soyuz TMA-2 ferried the two-person Expedition 7 crew to and from the International Space Station. It marked the first time Soyuz was used to transport long duration Expeditions to the ISS, a role it has performed ever since. This marked a reduction in ISScrew from three to two people.

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.
