The phrase "EXPEDITION SPACE STATION CREW'S SOYUZ ROCKET ROLLS TO THE PAD" describes an event associated with the launch of a Soyuz spacecraft carrying astronauts or cosmonauts to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of an Expedition crew rotation. Here's what typically happens during this process:

Soyuz Rocket Preparation: Before the launch, the Soyuz rocket is transported to the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (or sometimes from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana for European Space Agency launches).

Rollout to the Launch Pad: The Soyuz rocket, which consists of the Soyuz spacecraft on top of the Soyuz FG launch vehicle, is transported horizontally on a specialized railcar or transporter from the integration facility to the launch pad.

Vertical Integration: Once the Soyuz rocket is at the launch pad, it is raised into a vertical position. The rocket is carefully positioned on the launch pad and secured in place.

Final Preparations: In the days leading up to the launch, the rocket undergoes final preparations, including the installation of the payload fairing and the spacecraft's service
