📼Video Summary:
The Soyuz is a Russian Spacecraft that can fit a crew of 3. It is launch aboard a rocket which is called the Soyuz Rocket. It's launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The rocket is assembled horizontally, then transported by rail, and then lifted up to the launch pad. The support trusses hold the rocket in place and the umbilical tower provides fuel and electricity. Parts of the rocket include 3 stages, the launch shroud, and then at the top is the Launch Escape Tower with the Stabilizing Grid Fins. For the launch, the crew members will wear Sokol Spacesuits. The commander is in the center and two Flight Engineers will be on either side. The Zero-G Indicator will float once they are in orbit - this only takes about 9 minutes. Rendezvous and Docking is how catch up with and attach to the International Space Station (ISS). Coming back to earth involves Undocking, De-orbit burn, Re-entry, and Touchdown on land.

The big question now...what should I animate next?!🤔
Perseverance and Ingenuity.
Starship! Plz plz starship it would be really a pleasure Plz starship it’s an important rocket!
If you can’t for some reason I can understand then make a video about falcon heavy or falcon 9 rockets!
Edit: bruh for the love of god stop reply to me i already know and many people reply to me no one knows inside it and look my back comments and scroll down I ALREADY MADE REASON WHY I WANT HE TO MAKE STARSHIP VIDEO JUST SCROLL DOWN ALREADY LAZY BLIND PEOPLE! Am pissed from those reply the same comments about no one knows inside starship freaking annoying fr for same comments
Edit: oh wait how about Voyager 1 and voyager 2
How does elevator works? 👍👍

Marverlous video as always!
A couple of extra facts:
1) When the rocket lifts off and the four support arms retract, they don't do so under any power. The rocket simply sits on top of them unretained, and when the engines are producing enough thrust it starts rising. The arms then retract thanks to the yellow counterweights, whose weight is no longer balanced by that of the rocket. It's all gravity-driven!
2) When the boosters separate they form the Korolёv Cross, which is unique to this rocket. This is because the chief designer (Sergei Korolёv) of the rocket wanted to minimize the number of explosive bolts required for the separation, all the way back in the 1950's. Shortly before the fuel of the booster runs out, the bottom attachment points are cut. The boosters are now allowed to swing about a pivot at their very top, because the engines are still running and producing off-axis thrust. When the boosters have reached a sufficient angle, the pivots are released and a valve opens at the top of each booster. This valve vents the gaseous oxygen still present inside the tanks, which produces a thrust that makes the boosters spin in the opposide direction and away from the rocket. A real work of art
Thanks
Good there's people like you, is really useful to have an extra information.
Another thing that I find really interesting is that the launch escape system on the Soyuz destroyed the rocket on it's first (uncrewed) launch by firing because it thought it was "too tilted". What actually happened was that the launch was delayed, meaning the earth rotated during the time, making the LES think it was tilted. (7k-ok-1)
The Soyuz was also a spacecraft first designed to go to the moon, just like the Apollo of the US. It was supposed to launch on a rocket called the N-1, which had a very awesome (30) amount of engines. It was sadly cancelled due to being outcompeted by the US, and the fact that the godly amount of engines were simply too much for an computer in the 1960s to handle, causing 4 failures.
The Soyuz rocket is also a massive evolution of the rocket that took the first man into space, the Vostok. If you search online for photos, you'll be amazed at how similiar the overall design of the rocket is.
To add to that, if I remember it correctly from our lectures:
3) In case of failure on a return leg, Souz is designed to survive even that. If the descent module fails to separate, joints are designed to "burn through" by heated plasma and release the descent module. There were multiple cases through Soyuz explotation when it happened which caused Soyuz to switch from "controlled" to "ballistic" descent, which is another safety feature.
4) In case of any failure with de-orbit thrusters or at any deorbiting steps, Soyuz can switch from "controlled" descent to "ballistic" mode. There is a safety design in the form and mass distribution of the capsule itself. The form and center of gravity are designed so that oncoming air will flip the vehicle head-shield first even if deorbit or separation have failed. And the mass distribution makes the vehicle deliberately a lit bit of balance, what causes it to spin, what makes "ballistic" re-entry more stable. On the downside, it significantly adds G-load, which can be up to 9g on ballistic re-entry.
and one more thing, the whole rocket is still made of straight (flat) slot screws.
I'm impressed by the zero gravity indicator very simple and highly effective
State of the art technology. I`m impressed !!!
Not only that, legend says: Back in 60"s NASA spent huge amount of money to create or invest in a Space Pen (later also called "Fisher Space Pen") to work in zero gravity, while the Russian since the beginning just used Pencils... lol
(not everything in this story is true, but is funny to see these two ways to solve problems)
@@Soaresbruh That's a myth. Both NASA and Russia started using pencils, but it wasn't ideal. Graphite would break off and get into the ventilation and the wood of a pencil was flammable.
The Fisher Pen Company found out about this and created the Fisher Space Pen to sell to NASA. Today, both NASA and Russia still use it. They cost 6 dollars per pen.
Good ole communism
@@nipcoyote1140 6$ per pen is fine yeah but the R&D took millions
Funny fact: the four supports of the Soyuz rocket are not retracted by hydraulics or some other mechanism. In fact, these are just "swings" that recline with a counterweight when the weight of the rocket disappears at launch. A simple solution that has been working flawlessly for decades
Simpler is better. This will never fail.
Nice
@@srinitaaigauraI mean it might, if somebody forgets to unlock the arms.
A very Soviet solution. The Soviets usually were all about simplicity, no need to make something more complicated (and expensive) than it needs to be.
Como los cofres de un trailer?
This is so beautifully done! I intend to show it to my four year old great grandson who loves space. Last night we took the boys to Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, where we saw a reentry vehicle labled CCCP. It was a gift from USSR to NASA. We can play nicely if we try.

There is also a very interesting ceremony for everyone who travels to space via Russian space ports and space agencies. They are gathered in front of a very special "space travel" book before the flight and their names are entered into this very special register. This book was started by Gagarin, the first human who flew into space providing a continuous historic record since then. The register is kept in the Star City.
There are several more informal space rituals.
When Gagarin drove up to the rocket on the bus, he wanted to take a piss out of excitement. There is nowhere to hide in the desert, and he did it on the back wheel of the bus. Since then, many astronauts, even women, have repeated this ritual)
All cosmonauts also watch a Soviet western on their first day in orbit ... No, eastern "White Sun of the Desert"

This channel became my favourite. Thanks Jared.
Hey Jared - ripper video again. You do amazing work. I'd love to see the Akula Class Submarine (including sauna and pool!), Cheers, Ben
Hey branch education are you a team of people animating or are you a single animator like owen?
Epic
3:23 small innacuraccy, the vernier engines of the core actually line up with the boosters. Thats why the boosters have that cutout, to fit the verniers.
Everything else was amazing, very great work.
Oh look its cardz
Yes I believe your correct! Thanks for the heads up
This is one of those criticisms I enjoy, “hey you got this tiny little thing wrong, here’s how it was wrong, but that mistake doesn’t devalue the rest of the video”
@Author B.L. Alley we in the biz call that "constructive critism"
Small *inaccuracy not innacuraccy, and 5:02 rather than 3:23 corresponds with vernier engines info for me
The amount of engineering and planning put into this is crazy.
Лагорифмическая линейка...
Thousands of research institutes worked on the creation of this rocket. More than a million Soviet citizens of various specialties were involved. This rocket is still the safest rocket for flights to low-Earth orbit in the whole world.
I came here to watch the Russian rocket launch especially lift-off, as I've always admired the way it looks so simple yet elegant, with its different colored boosters and flames but I got to see something impressive than I had imagined. The level of detail and precision that goes into every aspect of a space flight is truly awe-inspiring. I now understand why we say "it's not rocket science" to mean that something is not as complicated as it may seem. A great deal of thought and planning goes into every step of a space flight and it is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of the people who make it all possible. I salute the great minds behind this. Further more silly , I always used think why the inner side of boosters were painted to red knowingly that they will get evaporated ?? but I have the answer for that too. Thanks for such an amazing content, very well presented with detailed animations and Kudos to efforts put into this.
If I were going to space, I would insist on using the Soyuz. The Russians have perfected this system over several decades, and it has proven itself to be extremely reliable. I lift my hat to those Russian engineers who developed such a trustworthy system.
100%!!!
👏👏👏
Agreed! What a smart design. Respect to the Russian people.
Except from now on, the Russians now will rely on Spacex to send their cosmonauts to ISS.
@@sfguzmani desde cuando?
The interasting fact - The four truss legs shown at 8:20 minutes hold the rocket without motors. The rocket is placed on the bed of these supports , and under the center of gravity, the supports move inward, pressing the rocket and hold the rocket on vertical pozition . And when the rocket starts to take off, the weight on the support decreases and the supports open automatically .
Как раз думал, а что если одна из опор не сдвинется. Вот оно как, всё гениальное - просто.
Let's appreciate the fact that this guy has enough motivation to do this
Fun fact: the R7 rocket (family), which Soyuz is a part of, was originally intended for delivering hydrogen bombs. When the R7 was complete, hydrogen bombs had been miniaturized which made the R7 heavily overkill. So the Soviets used it as an orbital launcher for Sputnik.
Since the maiden flight in the 50’s, the R7 family of rockets has the most launches in the world.
Немного корректировки: Сергей Павлович Королёв изначально и собирался делать всё для освоения космоса. А на военном применении настаивало правительство. Королева даже отправляли в ссылку за то, что он больше склоняется в сторону космоса.
@@was5301 ну вы тоже немного неправы. Не в ссылку, а на Колыму, в ГУЛАГ, подыхать на золотом руднике. А сделать ракету под видом военной ракеты космическую - это было потом.
@@ivan2nem912 Да вы я посмотрю лингвист прямо. А чем понятие «ссылка»отличается от Колымы и ГУЛАГА? В общем значении конечно.

Как видите Королев очень даже не умер и далеко не только он один.
What are you writing for? And the purpose of the cargo compartment of the Space Shuttle by the Americans is still classified. Intended, among other things, for a bomb load. And now, the Americans are testing the Boeing X-37. who has a military appointment.
It was a Cold war, when both countries made everything to be number 1, especially in a new area as Space was.
I have seen how several Russian soldiers and techs come to help the ISS crews when they come back to earth. It doesn't matter if the astronauts are American, french or Italian.
I wish one day the governments of the world understand that together we can be stronger, better and happier.
That is just because the Baikonur cosmodrome still operated by Russian military, if I'm not mistaken.
N. Ramos@ Exactly!
вместе мы можем быть сильнее, лучше и счастливее.
as long as there is something to compete about, the governments will. there's just no way there could be actual governmental utopia achieved.
Even if most of the governments come to an agreement, it would be unbearably hard to decide - how is it to be happier? Atheistic, Christian that way, Christian this way, or maybe Islamic?
Шикарное видео, просто и понятно. Спасибо. Даже первод включать не пришлось, хватило моего скудного английского и графики👍👍👍

I always been fascinated by the soyuz as its really is a interesting machine I believe my favorite part of it is the fact it has its own solar panels and in a way has all the hall marks of a those old school science fiction spaceships a truely respectable piece of engineering
First of all: Great video as always.
Secondly: One has to love the ingenuity of Russian Space Engineering.
Can't reach the controls?
*Use a stick.*
Need an indicator for weightlessness?
*Stuff Toy on a String it is.*
Great solutions to engineering problems😋
Even the 4 supports to hold the rocket down are without any control, they hold it just by it's own weight, once the rocket starts going up it permits them to release the rocket itself.
Also, while NASA was working on making the pressurized Space Pen, the Russians just used pencils to make notes...
@@emkkahn That's true, however the Russians *did switch* to the "Space Pen" once it was available since granite residue can be really hazardous in a Micro-G environment.
@@emkkahn Yeah, but the pencils weren't regular pencils, they were weird wax crayon-like ones, as graphite & wood shavings would get into & damage electronics in 0g. Because of this they... kinda sucked. At writing. :/

First of all, absolutely phenomenal CAD/animation work, Jared. I’m so fascinated to see the difference and similarity of the Russian space program, who have been at it longer than anyone on earth. Despite basics dictated by the mission and physics, I can see that the Russians have developed some interesting advantages, such as ground landings and multi-engine configurations. Our work together is humankind’s signature achievement, risking life and treasure together on a job bigger than either nation can do alone, and this with each other’s staunchest political enemy. I wonder if this irony is really appreciated enough. Enemies on earth, closest of friends in space.
Russia is not an enemy.
@@aur485 ...
If I understood correctly, the Russians did not spoil anything. They did the smartest thing so that the system works to this day, not disintegrating and rumbling shuttles. Russia and the USА in the mainstream are enemies, but the truth is different.
I was anxious for this video's release, your hard work surely was worth it! Congrats!
By the way, some random fact: The first (and still yet, the only) Brazilian astronaut/cosmonaut Marcos Pontes got to the ISS in a Soyuz Mission!
The event was known here in Brazil as Missão Centenário (Centenary Mission), and internationally as the Soyuz TMA-8.
The mission got it's name (in Portuguese) as a tribute to the centenary anniversary of the 14-bis flight by Santos Dumont.
The mission also had the crew of the american astronaut Jeffrey Willians and the russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov.
6:05 the most critical part is missing. Before cosmonauts get into the Soyuz they all piss at the bus's wheel. It's a must.
Excellent work Jared!

Хорошая анимация. Смотрится на "одном дыхании" как говорят в России. Но можно было бы рассказать и о том, что "Союз" не просто падает, а спускается по особой траектории, чтобы снизить перегрузки.

Questions: 1) what are those red cone engine nozzle inserts protecting against? 2) At what velocity is the craft going when it actually hits the ground?
answer for q1 is probably other oxidizing gasses and dust
My guess for Q1 is protection from anything that could enter the engine. Like birds, dirt/dust. Insects etc. It is like the "remove before flight" protective caps for airplanes when they are stored.
the answer for question 2 is they turn into a damn pancake
@@ExtremusStupidus nope its 30 m/s
@@prolska 30? Jesus Christ thats fast
Awesome video! Just a little commentary for comparison with other rockets: The Russians use a different stage numbering system than the rest of the world. In the US, the Soyuz would be considered a 2 or 2.5 stage rocket. The boosters aren't counted as a stage separate from the core because they all fire at the same time. So the core is considered the first stage, the upper stage is the 2nd stage, and the boosters are boosters, sometimes considered a half stage, so 2 or 2.5 stages under that criteria, not 3. The Space Shuttle, for example, was considered a 1.5 stage rocket in the US, the main stage and a half stage for the boosters. Meanwhile, the Russians would've considered it a 2 stage rocket (that's how they counted the Buran). So, what the Russians call 3rd stage MECO would've been called SECO in the US.
Another detail, you mention that the LES has saved lives a few more times, which is correct, but not on flight. The launch you mentioned, MS-10, was actually the very first time a LES had actually activated with astronauts in flight ever, not just on Soyuz but on any spacecraft. Besides that, the LES had only been used on Soyuz twice before, on one occasion, fire on the rocket, LES activated, and one after a rocket launch aborted, and while the rocket was being safed, the third stage pyros activated, killing a pad worker and setting off the LES.
The Soyus is a beautiful rocket on the world.
Actually you are wrong, MS-10 didn't use the LES. LES is jettisoned few seconds before the boosters. So by the time that one booster failed to separate LES was already gone. At that point Soyuz spacecraft leaves the rocket using inertia and not an LES.
@@Thillith No, you are wrong. The Soyuz LES is not composed of just the tower. All the way up to booster separation, Soyuz would use the LES tower. After the tower is jettisoned, it retains a smaller part of the LES, composed of 4 RDG motors that are hidden in the fairing.
The two stages that are blowing up right below you have just as much inertia as your capsule, and you don't want to hang out there for the explosion. The RDGs have less thrust and overall delta-v than the tower, but that isn't necessary at that point. The tower is needed before precisely because the boosters offer a lot of thrust, and the RDGs alone wouldn't be enough to pull away the capsule fast and far enough.
MS-10 was pulled away by the LES, specifically by the RDGs.
I absolutely love the position of the res protective coverings
the reason why theres so many parachutes is because if you were to just release the main parachute, the cosmonauts will experience so much G Forces, they’ll die like pancakes
Great Jared! Fantastic work.
It would be good an animation about an old space station like MIR, Saljut or Skylab

Just wanted to thank you for your amazing educational videos. Our 4 year old has been demanding your videos daily for the last year. We learn alongside him and its unbelievable to see him enjoy learning and retain the info and use it in his play later. Thank you! 🥰
Yay Another animation video by my favorite YT channel! These are highly detailed and very researched through of what goes when and which part is named. I can't wait for this channel to grow so BIG that we could enjoy these unique videos such as this one a bit more often. What an amazing one person job, thank you Jared Owen for your hard work!
Thanks Kirill
Amazing video as always Jared! Somehow I missed this one in my subscription feed XD I'm usually always on top of your stuff. But fantastic explanations and animation!! You always impress me with your work. Also, congrats on 2 Million subscribers!!! Huge milestone for ya! Looking forward to your next video, and outstanding work as always :D
It’s good to see how different countries work together. I hope in near future this kind of cooperation will be here on Earth. Good animation
13:43 The parachute cover is supposed to fly upwards in relation the the Soyuz capsule, because it is much lighter and a lower terminal velocity.
ahh good point!
Смотрится на одном дыхании, классно! 😊😊
Thank you!
@@JaredOwen How'd you understand that?

@@headgamemaker8385 google translate and the translate option on RUclips lol
@@megabo3ed Thanks, and may the odds be ever in your favour
For all the failures the Soviet space program endured, the Soyuz has been an enormous success. I wonder, how much a new one differs from ones in the 1970’s. Have they made incremental improvements or are they just riding on the only proven designs? I built Apollo and Soyuz model kits when I was a kid. I was amazed at how different the spacecraft were.
Great work Jared! I missed this in my youtube feed. What a gem!
Would love to se your take on...
- How does a solar panel work?
- How does a waterjet work?
also sls (sadly there only 2 sls launched)

wow! kudos to all who made this happen. Amazing. 😍
Great analysis of the launch! And excellent graphics! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Portugal
Better explained than my aerospace teacher! Amazing video :)
Another masterpiece 😍 thanks a ton for sharing this video ❤️❤️❤️
*THIS VIDEO IS FANTASTIC!!!* Well done once again, Jared! Incredibly informative and entertaining! ...I need to play KSP now...!
I learned my best from your easy demonstration. Thanks for your amazing work.
fantastic work once again Jared! :D
13:22 Fire and heat can't of course prevent radiosignals from coming through. It is the plasma that builds up due to the heat. Currently there are systems in development to overcome this problem.
The reentry isnt fire its a very hot gas
@@chabveasna8400 Plasma is technically not a gas, but a forth state of matter. That's the whole point. Plasma is ions and thus disturbs radio connection, gas isn't.
And the flames we usually call the fire are actually hot gas.
Been watching few of your videos
They’re awesome!!
Jared Owen is a very talented animator btw I love these kinds of spacecraft videos
13:00 during Re-Entry, of course the astronauts (or cosmonauts) experience 4G during this part of the decent, if the thrusters (automatic systems) fail, they can either use a backup controller or the steeper ballistic decent, during a ballistic decent, the G load increases to 9! I think that’s more than what a fighter pilot pulls, but imagine doing the Ballistic decent when you have been up without gravity for 6 months.
9G is right up at the top of what a Fighter pilot can do, and most of them couldn't withstand that for the length of time they'd experiance it in this case. Airshow/demonstration pilots would be under strain even.
@@DFX2KXty for letting me know! :)
I’ve been watching the more in depth videos about the soyuz launch, rendezvous / docking, and the landing before Jared’s videos were posted, it’s so fascinating to learn about new things! I’m very curious
Awesome video gettin to learn new space mission
Thanks Jared to explain soyuz spacecraft and Soyuz rocket
Great animation and well explained. Thanks for sharing
Now that doesn't look ”rocket science” with that simple explanation and animation!
smh it isn't rocket science its a quick run-down on how it works
Tiny mistake that doesn’t really make much difference: the 4 central vernier engines are in line with the 4 side boosters
I'm sure it's a lot more intricate behind-the-scenes, but I love how simple and effective this rocket is to an outside observer (me)
Nice. My only bit of nitpincking is the use of an American locomotive model in place of the TEM2 used at Baikonur. Oh, and the Soviets never used yellow paint for the loco's decks.
So much waited this, you are great
I love these science videos. Especially when it is dealing with outer space.
Thank you very much my friend.
Love your detailed educative Animation. God bless you Jared.
Hey! I noticed that the caption has a mistake at 12:08 “Hohmann Transfer” is mistakenly captioned “home and transfer”
Ahh good catch, I will fix that
