Flight

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing 26 km southeast of Arkalyk / Kazakhstan.

Soyuz TM-33 marked the second taxi crew to the ISS. Following a two day solo flight Soyuz TM-33 docked to the International Space Station on October 23, 2001. The crew performed common work with ISS expedition 3.

The French "Andromède" mission had two main purposes: to exchange the Soyuz spacecraft Soyuz TM-32 (Soyuz TM-33 now served as a new lifeboat) and to carry out a scientific and technical research program organized by the French space agency CNES.
