Soyuz rocket missions in 2010 2010 Feb. 3: The Soyuz-U rocket carrying the Progress-M04M cargo ship (tail number 404, ISS mission 36P) lifted off from Baikonur's Site 1 on Feb. 3, 2010, at 06:45:29 Moscow Time (03:45:29 GMT). 2010 April 2: The Soyuz FG rocket carrying Soyuz TMA-18 spacecraft lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome's Site 1 on April 2, 2010, at 08:04:34 Moscow Summer Time. Onboard were NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson and Russian cosmonauts Aleksandr Skvortsov and Mikhail Kornienko, all flight engineers on their way to the International Space Station. 2010 April 16: Russia launched a classified military payload, believed to be a Kobalt-M optical intelligence satellite. According to the official Russian sources, the Soyuz-U rocket lifted off from Plesetsk on April 16, 2010, at 19:00 Moscow Time. 2010 April 28: A Soyuz-U rocket lifted off from Baikonur's Site 1 on April 28, 2010, at 21:15 Moscow Time, carrying Progress M-05M spacecraft. 2010 June 16: A Soyuz FG rocket carrying the Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome's Site 1 on June 16, 2010, at 01:35:19 Moscow Summer Time (June 15, 21:35 GMT). 2010 June 30: A Soyuz-U rocket lifted off at 19:35:15 Moscow Time from Site 1 in Baikonur Cosmodrome, carrying the Progress M-06M cargo ship (No. 406, ISS mission 38P). 2010 Sept. 10: A Soyuz-U rocket lifted off on Sept. 10, 2010, at 14:22:57 Moscow Time from Site 31 in Baikonur Cosmodrome, carrying the Progress M-07M cargo ship (No. 407, the ISS mission 39P). 2010 Sept. 30: A Molniya-M rocket, the last in the legendary family of space vehicles, lifted off from Russia's northern launch site in Plesetsk on Sept. 30, 2010, at 21:01 Moscow Time. Upon reaching the orbit, the payload received an official designation Kosmos-2469.According to space forces, the goal of the mission was to replenish Russian military satellite constellation. Traditionally, Molniya-M rockets were used to deliver Oko (eye) early-warning satellites into highly-elliptical orbits. 2010 Oct. 8: The Soyuz FG rocket lifted off from Site 1 in Baikonur on Oct. 8, 2010, at 03:10:55 Moscow Summer Time, exactly as scheduled, carrying the Soyuz TMA-01M spacecraft. 2010 Oct. 19:The Soyuz 2-1a launch vehicle carrying the initial cluster of six Globalstar second-generation satellites lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome's Pad 6 at Site 31 in Kazakhstan on October 19, 2010, at 21:10:59 Moscow Time. 2010 Oct. 27: The Soyuz-U lifted off from Site 1 in Baikonur on Oct. 27, 2010, at 19:11:50 Moscow Time (15:11:50 GMT).
