Default 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.
