The Russian Soyuz 9 spacecraft carrying the International Space
Station Expedition 10 crew of Commander Leroy Chiao, KE5BRW, and
Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov is expected to dock with the ISS
Saturday, October 16, at 0417 UTC. Occupying the third seat in the
Soyuz with Chiao and Sharipov is Russian Space Forces Test Cosmonaut
Yuri Shargin. The Soyuz launched early Thursday (UTC) from Baikonur
Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, the space station's current
residents, Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka, RN3DT, and NASA
ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, have been preparing for the
arrival of the new crew and their return to Earth later this month.
After docking, the two ISS crews will spend eight days performing
joint operations and conducting handover activities. Shargin will
conduct a number of experiments as well as some ARISS school group
contacts. Padalka, Fincke and Shargin will bid farewell to the ISS on
October 23.
