Every 6 months the Soyuz return capsule attached to ISS [International Space Station], needs to be replaced with a New Soyuz capsule. This replacement ensures that if there ever was a need to make an emergency exit from ISS [International Space Station], that there would always be a fully fueled hot-stand-by return capsule ready for the ISS crew.
