Every 6 months the Soyuz return capsule attached to the 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 the ISS, that there would always be a fully fueled hot-stand-by return capsule ready for the ISS crew. These replacement capsules are called Taxi flights. 2, record 1, English, - Soyuz%20return%20capsule
