Cutaway graphic of the Soyuz rocket

[@AstroBidules]

Hello everyone,

I drew a complete plan of the Soyuz rocket that I tried to make as accurate as possible.



This plan is already available for free access on Wikipedia in French:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%89clat%C3%A9_fus%C3%A9e_et_vaisseau_Soyouz.svg

I made a translation into English:

http://spiki.org/astrobidules/forum/soyouz-beta-en.jpg

Before I publish it on Wikipedia in English, I want the english-speaker community read back it. Can you tell me if you see any translation mistakes ?

Life Compartment -> Habitation Compartment (BO)

Descent Compartment -> Descent Module (SA)

Hmmm... I don't think it is a good translation.

Russian names are Спускаемый аппарат and Бытовой отсек.

Спускаемый аппарат means "descent apparatus". Since all other modules are called "compartments", this particular one is often called "descent compartment".

Бытовой отсек means "compartment for everyday life", so the translation "Life Compartment" seems good to me.

That is awesome! One of the best "first posts" from someone on NSF! 

Made a slight change to the thread title to help.

Now one needs to be created for Soyuz-MS on Soyuz-2.1A for that maiden albeit uncrewed flight on August 28 2019.

Launch Vehicle is SOYUZ-FG
