Description: The Soyuz Soyuz TM-32 Taxi Flight crewmembers. Soyuz Commander Talgat Musabayev, Flight Engineer Yury Baturin — both cosmonauts representing Rosaviakosmos — and American Space Flight Participant Dennis Tito blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 2:37 a.m. CDT (0737 GMT) on April 28, 2001. They docked to the station two days later on April 30, 2001, at 2:58 a.m. CDT (0758 GMT) to begin nearly eight days of docked operations with the Expedition Two crew. The crews transferred gear and equipment from the new Soyuz to the orbital outpost, as well as into the older Soyuz spacecraft in which the visiting crew would return home.
