NASA TV AIRS SPACE STATION SOYUZ MOVE

The residents of the International Space Station will take a spin
around the block in their Soyuz spacecraft Friday. NASA TV airs live
coverage of the move starting at 3 a.m. EST.

Expedition 12 Soyuz Commander Valery Tokarev and station Commander
Bill McArthur will move the craft from the Pirs Docking Compartment
to the nearby Zarya module. Tokarev will undock from Pirs at about
3:40 a.m. EST. It will take about 40 minutes to complete the trip and
dock at the Zarya port. The move clears Pirs for a spacewalk in early
December.
