Soyuz TM-34 is a Russian passenger transportation craft that was launched by a Soyuz-U rocket from Baikonur at 06:26 UT on 25 April 2002. It carried two Russian cosmonauts and a South African tourist to the International Space Station (ISS). The tourist also performed some biology experiments, as he carried a live rat and sheep stem cells. All three returned on Soyuz TM-33 after an eight-day mission.
Soyuz TM-34 was the last of the Soyuz-TM spacecraft, due to its replacement by the Soyuz-TMA.
