Product Name: Station Crew Continues Normal Duties
Product Description
Commander Pavel Vinogradov and Flight Engineer Thomas Reiter spent time stowing discarded equipment and trash in the ISS Progress 21 cargo carrier currently docked to the station. They also worked on packing selected cargo for return to Earth on the ISS Soyuz 12 capsule.
Vinogradov and Flight Engineer Jeff Williams also conducted a fit check of the seats in the ISS Soyuz 12 capsule. The fit check assures that the crew members, whose bodies gain in length during longer-term stays aboard the station, will still be adequately protected by the seat liners for their return home.
The Expedition 13 crew also conducted a teleconference with the Expedition 14 crew to pass on lessons learned and begin the handover process before the actual arrival of the Expedition 14 crew.
The arrival of the station's next visitors, the STS-115 crew, has been postponed. The launch of STS-115 is scheduled for no earlier than Friday morning. For the latest news on the launch of Atlantis on STS-115, visit:
