# sm011 Soyuz model flying on board ISS

Images received by e-mail from ISS-7 Expedition commander Yuri Malenchenko depict Soyuz TMA model floating in micro-gravity on board station. I am happy to see a model presented as gift to ISS crew is in good shape and circling the orbits on board.Note that Yuri photographed model without stand and this miniature copy of Soyuz TMA looks as a real ship in flight.Unique weightless conditions allow to make such interesting picture. And of course entire look of this part of ISS (everything around model) allows us to see where work cosmonauts-astronauts. As mentioned above (see sm010 Ed Lu and Nikolai Budarin with this model) same Soyuz TMA models will be provided to National Air & Space Museum, museum of Cosmonaut Training Center and Energia Space Corporation museum. Requests of other Aerospace museums and private collectors will be honored at the end of this year after return of ISS-7 crew. *** Images received from ISS with private e-mails cannot be used by Media ***
