Expedition Crews Work Together on Space Station
Expedition Crews Work Together on Space Station
Aboard the International Space Station, the Expedition 9 and 10 crews tackled a busy schedule Monday. During their third day of activities, Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka and NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke continued handover activities with their replacements -- Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov. Expedition 10 will officially take charge of the ISS on Saturday when the hatch closes between the Station and the Soyuz carrying the Expedition 9 crew to Earth. Undocking is set for 4:08 p.m. CDT (2108 GMT) Saturday and landing is scheduled for 7:36 p.m. CDT Saturday (0036 GMT Sunday) in Kazakhstan. Returning to Earth with Padalka and Fincke will be Russian Space Forces Test Cosmonaut Yuri Shargin, who arrived at the Station with Expedition 10. In other activities Monday, Chiao and Fincke worked inside the Quest Airlock to flush water cooling lines in a U.S. spacesuit. Padalka and Sharipov performed maintenance on the Russian Elektron oxygen generation system. Shargin conducted experiments. -- --------------------------- Jacques :-) www.spacepatches.info |
