Russian Cosmonauts Stuck on Space Station Extra Months

The Soyuz program is the longest human spacecraft program in the history of space exploration, with the first manned flight into space occurring on April 23, 1967.

The spacecraft generally weigh seven tons and measure 7.2 meters long by 2.7 meters in diameter. They unfold open solar panels after launch and can carry up to three astronauts at a time.
