Default Expedition 10 Prepares for Soyuz Relocation

Expedition 10 Prepares for Soyuz Relocation

In addition to working with science experiments and performing routine
maintenance Tuesday, the Expedition 10 crew prepared for next week's Soyuz
spacecraft maneuver.

On Nov. 29, Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov will
briefly leave the ISS during a maneuver to relocate the ISS Soyuz 9
spacecraft. Sharipov, who is the crew's Soyuz commander, will undock the
spacecraft from the Pirs Docking compartment and redock it to a port on the
Zarya Control Module. It will clear Pirs for use during Expedition 10's
upcoming spacewalks. The Soyuz is slated to undock at 3:29 a.m. CST (0929
GMT) and redock at 4 a.m. CST (1000 GMT). NASA TV will begin its coverage of
the relocation at 3 a.m. CST (0900 GMT).

Tuesday's preparations included communications checks with NASA ground
stations in the United States.

In other activities Tuesday, Chiao cleaned a filter on the autonomous
Protein Crystal Growth Single-locker Thermal Enclosure System. This
scientific hardware has been operating for more than 727 days. Chiao also
participated in a fitness evaluation.

Sharipov conducted routine maintenance on the ventilation system in the
Station's Russian segment. He also recharged the battery in the Soyuz's
satellite phone.
