*International Space Station Status Report #05-50*
*8:30 p.m. CDT, Monday, Oct. 10*
*Expedition 11 Crew*
After traveling 75 million miles during six months on the international
space station, Expedition 11 Commander Sergei Krikalev and NASA ISS
Science Officer John Phillips returned to Earth today. With them was
American Greg Olsen, who spent eight days on the station under a
commercial agreement with the Russian Federal Space Agency.
The ISS Soyuz 9 spacecraft with Krikalev, Phillips and Olsen landed in
north-central Kazakhstan, about 53 miles (85 kilometers) northeast of
Arkalyk, at 8:09 p.m. CDT. The crew's families will greet them at Star
City, Russia, near Moscow, early tomorrow. Krikalev and Phillips will
remain in Star City for post-flight debriefings before returning to
Houston in late October. Krikalev and Phillips launched from the
Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, April 14. They spent 179 days, 23
minutes in space. During their mission, they welcomed the Space Shuttle
Discovery crew as it returned the shuttle to flight on STS-114.
While on the station, Kirkalev amassed more time in space than any
human. He is a veteran of six spaceflights, including two to the Russian
space station Mir, two shuttle flights, and the first international
space station expedition. Krikalev has 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes
of time in space. On Aug. 16, he surpassed the previous record set by
Cosmonaut Sergei Avdeyev of 747 days, 14 hours and 14 minutes.
The new station crew, Expedition 12 Commander and NASA Science Officer
Bill McArthur and Flight Engineer Valery Tokarev, will have light duty
for the next few days as they rest from a busy handover. They will
remain in orbit six months, during which they are planned to perform at
least two spacewalks. The first spacewalk will occur in early November.

The next ISS status report will be issued Friday, Oct. 14, or earlier if
events warrant.
