The main method of getting to and from the station is the Russian Soyuz, which seats 3 and is launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.

The station crew is 6 people, so there are usually two of them docked to the Russian segment of the station, also serving as lifeboats in case of an emergency.

There is also the U.S. Space Shuttle which has a crew of 7, but can only stay at the station for about 2 weeks. The Shuttle will be retired at the end of 2011.
