NASA Space Station Commander, Crew To Take A Short Trip

The International Space Station.
by Staff Writers
Houston TX (SPX) Oct 05, 2006
The International Space Station's residents will take a brief ride around their home on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and NASA TV will provide live coverage of the short journey.

Expedition 14 Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter will shut down vital station systems and undock their Soyuz spacecraft from its port at the aft end of the Zvezda Service Module.

They will then take a 30-minute trip that will relocate the Soyuz to the Earth-facing docking port on the station's Zarya module. The maneuver will free Zvezda's docking port for the arrival of a new Russian Progress cargo spacecraft later this month.
