Soyuz spacecraft are powered by Semyorka rockets.
Both American and Russian spacecraft are capable of flying to the International Space Station. This is how supplies and crew are transferred.
Astronauts typically reach the International Space Station (ISS) by riding on a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or the SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft are launched from Earth atop rockets and dock with the ISS once in orbit. Astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the space station using the docking mechanisms.
Some of the Russian space crafts are Soyuz, Progress, and Vostok. Soyuz is used for crewed missions to the International Space Station, Progress is an unmanned cargo spacecraft, and Vostok was the spacecraft that carried the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space.
The name of the first Russian spacecraft was Sputnik 1, launched on October 4, 1957.
Astronauts typically travel to the International Space Station (ISS) using a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or American SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft launch from Earth and dock with the ISS, where astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the station.
Sunitha Williams returned to Earth from the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. The spacecraft landed in Kazakhstan on September 16, 2012, bringing her back after spending 127 days in space during Expedition 32/33.

A Russian Soyuz spacecraft typically takes about six hours to reach the International Space Station (ISS) after launch. This expedited journey is made possible by a fast-track rendezvous approach that allows the spacecraft to align with the ISS's orbit quickly. However, there are also longer missions that can take about two days, depending on the mission profile and operational requirements.
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.
Immediately after the Space Shuttle Program is retired, the International Space Station will rely upon the Russian Soyuz rockets to resupply and re-man the space station. In order to get its astronauts into space, NASA will have to buy seats on the Russian rockets.
