Crew Continues ISS Familiarization, Replaces Sensors in Elektron
Crew Continues ISS Familiarization, Replaces Sensors in Elektron
Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov are in their second full week as the resident crew of the International Space Station as they continue to familiarize themselves with their new home. For the first two weeks of a tour of duty on the ISS, each crewmember spends at least an hour a day getting to know the ISS and its systems. Inside the Russian segment on Wednesday, they performed routine maintenance on the Elektron oxygen generation system. They replaced two sensors in the Elektron. The duo also worked with science experiments, monitored ISS systems and performed their daily exercise regimen. Tuesday marked the fourth anniversary of the Expedition 1 crew's arrival at the International Space Station. Since then, nine more crews have maintained the permanent human habitation of the orbital outpost. On the ground, Expedition 9 crewmembers Gennady Padalka and Mike Fincke are in Star City, Russia, for several weeks of post-flight debriefings and medical exams before returning to Houston on Nov. 13. -- --------------------------- Jacques :-) www.spacepatches.info |
