Soyuz TMA-01M is the first spacecraft of a new series designed and manufactured by RSC Energia. The modernization of the ship affected, first of all, the onboard digital computer and the telemetric information transmission system. Previously, the Soyuz spacecraft used an analog telemetric information transmission system, while the Soyuz TMA-M had a digital one, which is more compact, and the on-board computer belongs to the TsVM-101 class - more advanced than the machines that were on previous generations "SOYUZ".
As a result of the modernization, 36 obsolete devices were replaced with 19 devices of modern design, which also entailed the renewal of the onboard complex control systems and the provision of thermal conditions. The manufacturability of the ship was increased, and the total mass of the Soyuz was reduced by 70 kg.
Flight history:
On October 8, 2010 at 03:10:55 Moscow time, the spacecraft launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome.
Nine minutes later, the launch vehicle launched the Soyuz into low Earth orbit with the following parameters:
* minimum height above the Earth's surface - 199.85 kilometers;
* maximum height above the Earth's surface - 258.77 kilometers;
* circulation period - 88.81 minutes;
* inclination - 51.63 degrees.
On October 10 at 04:01 Moscow time, the Soyuz TMA-01M spacecraft successfully docked with the ISS. The ship moored in automatic mode to the Poisk research module.
