Soyuz TMA- 08M is a mission name for the flight of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station. In the course of the ISS program of flight is called ISS AF - 34S. It was the 34th visit of a Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS and the 140th flight in Sojusprogramm. With a flight time of less than six hours it was until then the shortest manned flight to the International Space Station.

Mission Description

The mission took three crew members of the ISS Expeditions 35 and 36 to the International Space Station. The Soyuz spacecraft Soyuz TMA- 06M sparked off as a rescue capsule.

With a duration of 5 hours and 46 minutes it was the hitherto fastest flight to the ISS, which previously i had d R. lasted two days. This new " short pattern" was possible because of the new digital on-board computer of the modernized spacecraft Soyuz TMA -M type works independently from the control center in Korolev and also a constant radio contact with the crew is no longer necessary.

On September 10, 2013 at 23:37 UTC docked Soyuz TMA- 08M with Vinogradov, Missurkin and Cassidy on board from. Thus began at the ISS Expedition 37 commander Fyodor Yurchikhin as. The landing was then made on September 11 at 2:59 UTC 152 km southeast of Zhezkazgan at 13 degrees Celsius and a cloudless sky in the steppe of Kazakhstan.
