📼Video Summary:
The Soyuz is a Russian Spacecraft that can fit cosmonauts or astronauts inside. The spacecraft has been in use since the 1960s - over the years it has docked with many space stations. It's split into 3 modules: the Orbital Module, the Descent Module, and the Service Module. Only the first two modules are pressurized. Rendezvous and Docking is how the spacecraft catches up with and docks to the International Space Station (ISS). Now days this only takes about 6 hours! This involves Insertion Orbit, Hohmann Transfer, Transfer Orbit, and Phasing Orbit. Docking to the station is done autonomously by the Kurz Docking System - this involves the Fly-Around, Station-Keeping, Final Approach, Soft Capture, and Hard Capture. The Soyuz Space will attach to the Russian Orbital Segment of the ISS which has compatible drogue and probe docking ports. The crew usually stays attached to the station for 6 months before coming home.

I’ve been in the space industry for my entire career and have never seen this explained so clearly. Well done!!

[bruhh]

Who else agree that this guy deserves much more for such amazing reascearch and animation. That clearly shows how much effort you put into it. Really impressive :]

[BranchEducation]

What a really great video!! Sooo many impressively well-animated details! Keep up the great work.

For people commenting: "it's a 50 years old rocket" no it's not, It not the same rocket, it has changed A LOT, the only thing that remains it's the name and the shape, also Russia is using the Proton-M rockets and the Angarah ones.

In some cases, the latest Soyuz modification can deliver crews to the ISS in 3 hours. And on the Progress ship, a flight for 1.30 hours will soon be tested, which will then be applied on the Soyuz.

ESA did a video on how the Soyuz works a few years back, but yours is far more detailed and advanced. And now I know what those T and M and A abbreviations mean.

Best animations Jared, keep the space vids coming, can't wait for a Starship

[psd]

Jared, just a request, please create more videos on science related topics, it literally helps out a lot of students as well as learners, and lemme tell you that your animations make every concept crystal clear . Thank you so much

[EngineeringMindset]

It still blows my mind that we're able to fire people off the face of the planet and they dock onto a craft that's wizzing around up in space. I can't even dock my key into the front door lock on the first 3 attempts per entry.

this is the stuff that easily passed as professional educator material, good job man

In Malaysia we have a first astronaut “Dr.Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor” launched to the ISS aboard Soyuz TMA-11 on 10 October 2007….greeting from Malaysia guys🇲🇾🤗

I enjoy the way Jared simply talks into his microphone instead of shouting into it like so many other YouTubers today. Makes for a pleasant listening experience.

Парень, ты красавчик! Я живу в России и интересуюсь космосом. Но твой фильм - самый понятный и информативный из всех, что я видел! GREAT WORK, CAMRAD!

[Евгения-едд]

Лежу, смотрю на иностранном канале с русскими субтитрами видео про наши " Союзы " 😁. Спасибо, автор! 👍

[cholodelrosari]

I never know the Soyuz was more than 40 years old and was originally intended for Lunar landing missions.
Sergei Korolev(The Soyuz Designer) is truly a 'miracle worker'

[stephenaviaspace]

The Soyuz spacecraft has been my favorite spacecraft so far. I really have learned a lot about the Soyuz in this video. Great job

[peterweicker]

I've never seen anything this complex explained so clearly and simply. The visuals are beautiful. Fantastic work.

[SergeySmirnovDesign]

Великолепное видео! Спасибо за такой сложный и детальный труд!

[johnnyspousta]

One of the best space-related videos on the entire YouTube. Masterfully done, sir! Love from Czechia!

[stabarinde]

I have been fascinated with spaceflight in general and Soyuz in particular for as long as I can remember. This video is stunning, and right up my alley, thank you!!!
