Cargo Transfers Continue on Space Station

Cargo Transfers Continue on Space Station

At the International Space Station, Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and
Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov continued to unload cargo delivered last
week by the ISS Progress 17 spacecraft.

The Progress' 4,631 pounds (2,100 kilograms) of cargo included food,
supplies, fuel, oxygen, air and water. It also delivered cameras and lenses
that will be used to photograph the thermal protection tiles of Space
Shuttle Discovery as the Return to Flight mission approaches the Station in
May or June. Chiao and Sharipov are keeping track of the transferred items
with the Station Inventory Management System.

In other activities Tuesday, Chiao registered data from devices he deployed
Monday to record noise levels on the Station. These measurements are taken
at least twice during a crew's tour of duty on the Station.
