 Russia is planning to launch three more Soyuz piloted spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) this year, the Federal Space Agency Roscosmos said on Thursday.

The first Soyuz TMA vehicle this year, the TMA-14, was launched on March 26 and delivered members of the 19th Expedition to the ISS.

"In line with international agreements, Russia will launch the Soyuz TMA-15 on May 27, the Soyuz TMA-16 on October 1, and the Soyuz TMA-17 on November 20 from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan," Roscosmos said in a statement.

The next Soyuz TMA will transport three additional crewmembers to the ISS. It will be the 102nd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft since 1967.
