April 23, 2003. Baikonur cosmodrome.

Preparation of the Soyuz TMA-2 spacecraft for launch to the
International Space Station with the Expedition 7 crew is in good

In the LV processing facility, the orbital module was integrated with
the launch vehicle.

At 15 hours Moscow time, a meeting of the Intergovernmental
Commission and the Technical Management was held where a decision was
made to roll out the launch vehicle carrying Soyuz TMA-2 to the
