Is that Soyuz the first Soyuz-MS?
Edit: Sidenote: Russia does not number their first vehicles. It's Soyuz MS not Soyuz MS-01

Safety precaution? Is there any new hardware which has not already been tested on the previus Progress MS 01 and Progress MS 02 missions?

RSC Energia do not like 01, because, for example, Progress M-01M has docked to ISS in TORU mode. So RSC Energia has dropped 01 for the first Soyuz TMA-M. The same decision was for the first Progress MS and will be for the first Soyuz MS. But MCC-M and Roskosmos has decided to name the first Progress MS as Progress MS-01. I think that the same decision will be for Soyuz MS, i.e. they will name it as Soyuz MS-01.
