Crew Resumes Full Work Schedule

Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov
returned to a full workload Wednesday aboard the International Space
Station. Chiao and Sharipov received three days of light duty after eight
days of joint operations with Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka and
NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke. Expedition 10 became the resident crew
Saturday with the departure of Expedition 9.

Wednesday's activities included checkout of a gas analyzer system in the
Station's Human Research Facility and the installation of new software onto
the medical equipment computer.

Also, both crewmembers participated in a standard familiarization session
that is conducted every day during the first two weeks of a new crew's stay
on the ISS.

On the ground, Padalka and Fincke are in Star City, Russia, for several
weeks of post-flight debriefings and medical exams before returning to
Houston in mid-November.
