Soyuz TMA-MS

The Soyuz TMA-MS, also known as the Soyuz-MS, is a new modified version of the Soyuz TMA-M spacecraft. It features a more advanced computer called TsVM-101 and involves the replacement of 36 obsolete instruments by 19 new ones. The solar panels are more efficient and are fitted with photovoltaic converters. The docking and attitude control thrusters have been rearranged to allow docking to the International Space Station (ISS) with one thruster down. The new spacecraft could return to the Earth even if two thrusters failed. Besides, the Soyuz-MS is equipped with GLONASS/GPS navigation system compared with previous versions allowing ground crews to find the spacecraft after landing much faster. Other equipment supplied to the new Soyuz includes an advanced control radio link with a satellite communication channel as well as the Kurs NA automated docking system which is lighter and consumes less power than the previous one. The first launch of the new Soyuz-MS is slated for early 2016.
