Mass

[edit]

Marked this as "Start" class. It is better than a stub, but e.g. does not seem to specify anywhere the mass of a Soyuz TMA, which is a rather vital statistic for a spacecraft. (sdsds - talk) 00:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very Sorry but is comparing soyuz to apollo mass relevant? orbital reentry from lunar transit vs from leo surely have differing mass/heat shield requirements. Are the levels of redundancy on an orbital craft and a purpose-built lunar craft the same? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.19.153.74 (talk) 01:11, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing Soyuz TMA mass is relevant. Dry and Wet mass are the essential parameters in the Rocket Equation, and in most other equations related to spacecraft; its lack is making calculation of pretty much anything related to the craft performance and capabilities impossible. That deficiency indeed makes the article "Start" class, useful only to layman for whom mass of a craft is just a meaningless piece of trivia. Sharpfang (talk) 08:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TMA-M

[edit]

Should Soyouz TMA-M have its own article, like the others Soyouz variants (T, TM, TMA)?

What's worse, article on Soyuz TM discusses improvements over previous Soyuz T, while article on Soyuz TMA only discusses differences against the future Soyuz TMA-M and rehashes the complete Soyuz spacecraft description. This leaves a glaring gap - no mention of how TMA differs from TM. As result, the general article on Soyuz provides a better resource on TMA than this specific article.

Article partially copied for the Soyuz MS article

[edit]

When I wrote the Soyuz MS article, which was actually the third edit of that page, since it was previously a redirect, I copied almost all the Soyuz-TMA#Design section out of the this article. I didn't copied the Soyuz-TMA#Spacecraft systems subsection, though, because those were changed during the TMA -> TMA-M and TMA-M -> MS, and we lack extensive sources. In fact, the whole section is without sources. But I know that it is correct from my knowledge of the Soyuz capsule in general.Baldusi (talk) 16:06, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
