Soyuz TM-31 was Russian passenger transportation spacecraft launched by a Soyuz-U rocket at 07:52 UT on October 31, 2000.Soyuz-ST is a shorthand name for a Soyuz-2 rocket with ST-type fairing and Fregat upper stage. The launch vehicles usedin the Soyuz expendable launch system are manufactured at the Progress State Research and Production Rocket Space Center(TsSKB-Progress) in Samara, Russia. As well as being used in the Soyuz programme as the launcher for the manned Soyuz spacecraft,Soyuz launch vehicles are now also used to launch unmanned Progress supply spacecraft to the International Space Stationand commercial launches marketed and operated by TsSKB-Progress and the Starsem company. There were 11 Soyuz launches in2001 and 9 in 2002. Currently Soyuz vehicles are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and the Plesetsk Cosmodromein northwest Russia. Starting in 2009 Soyuz launch vehicles will also be launched from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. (Wiki)

Soyuz-ST is a three-stage carrier rocket equipped with an additional restartable Fregat upper stage, which allowslifting payloads into higher orbits, including high circular, elliptical, sun synchronous, geotransfer, geostationaryorbits and departure trajectories. The upper stage may be considered a fourth stage of the rocket, but its flightcontrol and telemetry systems are fully independent from the rocket. The upper stage and a spacecraft are mountedunder the large ST fairing, similar to the one used on the Ariane 4 launch vehicle.The Soyuz carried a crew of three to dock it with the Zvezda module of the International Space Station (ISS) atabout 09:21 UT on November 2. The Progress M1-3 cargo craft that was docked with Zvezda was released to make way for he Soyuz. The crew of two Russian and one American spent over three months on the ISS, and returned to Earth in anAmerican shuttle (STS-102) in February 2001. In the initial days, the crew brought a variety of life support systemson-line, and created a lap-top computer network that helped run all systems in the ISS. The remaining months wereallotted for exercise and space endurance practice. The crew was first group of a planned decade-long "permanentinhabitation" of the ISS. (Wiki)
