Le vaisseau soyouz, qui ne sera pas remplacé avant une décennie, va connaître de nouvelles améliorations dans les prochaines années. Au programme:
- des panneaux solaires plus efficaces à partir de novembre 2011
- une protection contre les micrométéorites et autre débris en mars 2012
- et un nouveau système radio de rendez-vous Kurs en novembre 2013, qui sera lui fabriqué en Russie et non plus en Ukraine.
Ces améliorations auraient été réclamées par la NASA.

Russia in future upgrades spacecraft Soyuz, including at the request of NASA
The Russian manned spacecraft Soyuz in the next three years will receive a more powerful solar panels, additional protection from meteoroids and a new system of closer relations with the International Space Station, told Interfax-AVN on Tuesday in the space industry.
"The improved solar panels will be installed on the Soyuz spacecraft since November 2011, additional meteorites protection - since March 2012, Russia's new radio system" Course "for rendezvous and docking with the station - from November 2013", - "the source said .
According to the source, need to develop solar cells due to the increased power of modernized spacecraft systems. "To do this, the entire surface of the two solar arrays will be filled with photoelectric converters with increased efficiency," - said the source.
He also said that meteorites defense will be mounted on the outer surface of the living compartment of the Union. " "This will increase the likelihood of ship neproboya meteoroid particles and debris," - the source added.
According to him, this innovation is done at the request of the National Aerospace Agency of the United States.
He also noted that instead of manufactured in Ukraine apparatus radio system "Course A" on the Soyuz spacecraft will be manufactured in Russia to establish a system of "course-in". "This is due to the need to transition to a modern element base with the organization of production in Russia," - the source added.
