ISS STATUS REPORT #05-42 - 1 SEPTEMBER 2005
SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468
*International Space Station Status Report #05-42*
*4 p.m. CDT, Thursday, September 1, 2005*
*Expedition 11 Crew*
The International Space Station's Expedition 11 crewmembers completed 20
weeks in space this week and focused on an upcoming cargo ship exchange
and computer software transition.
Commander Sergei Krikalev and Flight Engineer and NASA ISS Science
Officer John Phillips spent time packing the docked ISS Progress 18
supply ship with items no longer needed on the Station. The unpiloted
cargo craft will be undocked from the Zvezda module's aft port at 5:23
p.m. CDT Wednesday. The Progress will later burn up in Earth's
atmosphere above the Pacific Ocean.
A new supply ship, ISS Progress 19, will launch from the Baikonur
Cosmodrome at 8:08 a.m. CDT Thursday. It will dock to the Station at
9:50 a.m. CDT Sept. 10. Food, water, fuel, clothing and other supplies
will be among the two-and-a-half tons of cargo aboard. The craft will
deliver a new liquids unit for the Station's Elektron, a primary
oxygen-generating system, as well as spare parts for the Station's
Vozdukh carbon dioxide removal system.
Also this week, Krikalev and Phillips prepared new laptop computers for
a software upgrade that will be performed later this month. They also
conducted a routine rehearsal of emergency response procedures,
simulating an emergency departure from the Station in the Soyuz; and
checked out new blood pressure and electrocardiograph equipment that was
delivered by the Space Shuttle last month.
On Monday, Phillips, who says he was inspired as a boy by history's
great explorers, took time Monday to discuss his mission in an interview
with Oregon Public Broadcasting. Phillips talked about the similarities
and differences of space exploration and the journey of Lewis and Clark
for a series celebrating the bicentennial of that exploration of the
American West.

The next Station status report will be issued on Thursday, Sept. 8, or
earlier if events warrant.
