First ISS expedition

edit
This paragraph is an excerpt from Soyuz TM-31.[edit]
Soyuz TM-31 was the first Soyuz spaceflight to dock with the International Space Station (ISS).[1] The spacecraft carried the members of Expedition 1, the first long-duration ISS crew. It was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 07:52 UT on October 31, 2000, by a Soyuz-U rocket.
