*International Space Station Status Report #05-44*
*Saturday, Sept. 10, 2005*
*Expedition 11 Crew*
A 2«-ton delivery arrived at the back door of the International Space
Station today as an unpiloted Russian cargo ship linked up to the Zvezda
module's docking port at 9:42 a.m. CDT, filled with supplies for
Expedition 11 Commander Sergei Krikalev and Flight Engineer John
Phillips and spare parts for repair to some Station systems.
The crewmembers were inside Zvezda monitoring the automated docking as
ISS flew 220 statute miles above Central Asia near northern Kazakhstan
at the time of contact and capture. Once leak checks are completed,
Krikalev and Phillips will open the hatch to Progress later today and
will begin to unload its contents on Sunday.
The supplies include food, fuel, oxygen and air, clothing, experiment
hardware, and Russian spacesuit components. The more than 2,700 pounds
of dry cargo contained in this supply ship also include a new water
circulation device called a liquids unit for the Station's Elektron, the
primary system for supplying oxygen for the crew to breathe and spare
parts for the Vozdukh carbon dioxide removal system. Time is set aside
in the crew's schedule Sept. 15 for installation of the new liquids unit
to attempt to bring Elektron back into service, months after it failed.
The remainder of the Progress payload includes 1,763 pounds of
propellant for the Russian thrusters, 242 pounds of oxygen and air in
tanks as a backup supply for the oxygen generated by Elektron and 463
pounds of water to augment the supplies left by The Space Shuttle
Discovery during the recent STS-114 mission.
Some of the clothing and personal effects delivered to the Station today
include items for the next resident crew of the Station, Expedition 12
Commander and NASA Science Officer Bill McArthur and Flight Engineer
Valery Tokarev. They are scheduled to launch from the Baikonur
Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Oct. 1 on the Soyuz TMA-7 capsule.
Information on the crew's activities aboard the Space Station, future
launch dates, as well as Station sighting opportunities from anywhere on
the Earth, is available on the Internet at:

The next Station status report will be issued on Thursday, Sept. 15, or
earlier if events warrant.
