A busy first day on board the Station

21 October 2003
Pedro Duque has a full schedule today. He woke up this morning at about
07:10 CEST (05:10 UT), feeling well. Pedro is in very good shape, no
headaches and no space sickness.

At 10:30 CEST (08:30 UT), Pedro had a 15-minute phone conversation with
Spanish president Jose Marķa Aznar. Aznar was at the Moncloa Palace, in
Madrid, with the Spanish minister of Science and Technology, Juan Costa.
Seven students from the School of Aeronautical Engineering of Madrid
Polytechnic University were also present. Aznar said to Duque: "We are very
proud of you being up there", and he committed himself to continued support
of the ISS programme.
During the rest of the morning Pedro participated in the experiments
Sympatho, BMI and Cardiocog. Pedro also downlinked video material that was
shot when the Soyuz TMA-3 was approaching ISS for docking and another clip
of himself while one of his crewmates took a sample of blood from him.

This afternoon Pedro will keep working on Cardiocog for about 2 hours; then
he will devote some time to Nanoslab and to BMI. Activities for this
afternoon include filming the behaviour of fruit flies for AGEING, a Spanish
experiment.

Pedro's day is scheduled to end at about 22:30 CEST (10:30 UT) when he goes
to sleep.
