Editing Soyuz (rocket family) (section)

=== ISS crew transport ===
Between 1 February 2003 and 26 July 2005 with the grounding of the United States [[Space Shuttle]] fleet, Soyuz was the only means of transportation to and from the International Space Station. This included the transfer of supplies, via Progress spacecraft, and crew changeovers. After the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet in 2011, the [[Space policy of the United States|United States space program]] was without any means to take astronauts into orbit, and [[NASA]] was dependent on the Soyuz to send crew into space until 2020.<ref name="sfn-20140527">{{cite news |author=Clark |first=Stephen |date=27 May 2014 |title=NASA's latest Soyuz seat procurement may be its last |url=http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1405/27soyuz/ |access-date=29 May 2014 |publisher=Spaceflight Now}}</ref> NASA resumed crewed flights from the United States in 2020 through the [[Commercial Crew Development]] program.
