Expedition 14 readying the station for guests
The Expedition 14 crew had an off-duty day Sunday. This week they continue
readying the space station for guests arriving next week.
Expedition 15 is set to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan
at 1:31 p.m. EDT, April 7. Their Soyuz spacecraft is scheduled to dock
at 3:03 p.m. on April 9.
On March 29, Expedition 14 Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria, KE5GTK and flight
engineers Mikhail Tyurin, RZ3FT, and Suni Williams, KD5PLB, boarded their
Soyuz TMA-9 spacecraft and undocked it from the Earth-facing port of the
station's Zarya module.
The craft was docked to the aft port of the Zvezda module. The move was
necessary to clear the Zarya port for the arrival of Expedition 15.
