Crew works on experiments, station completes reboost

Commander Pavel Vinogradov RV3BS and Flight Engineer Jeff Williams KD5YVQ are working on various experiments inside the International Space Station.

Both crewmembers also participated in an interactive televised educational event Thursday morning at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center with NASA Explorer Schools.

Engines of the Progress cargo craft were fired early Thursday, raising the station's altitude about 1.6 miles.

NASA astronauts Michael Lopez-Alegria KE5GTK, Sunita Williams KD5PLB and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin RZ3FT have been named as the 14th crew of the International Space Station. Expedition 14 is scheduled to begin this fall.
