*Space Station Gets a Boost
*While the crew slept Tuesday night, the International Space Station moved
into a higher orbital altitude. Flight controllers in Moscow remotely
commanded the docked Progress 13 cargo ship's engines to fire for 9 minutes,
raising the Station's altitude by an average of 2.4 miles (3.8 kilometers).
Two more reboost maneuvers are scheduled to prepare the ISS for the arrival
of a Soyuz spacecraft carrying the Expedition 9 crew in late April.
Aboard the Station on Wednesday, Expedition 8 Commander Michael Foale and
Flight Engineer Alexander Kaleri resumed science and maintenance activities.
Foale removed a completed crystal growth experiment sample from the
Microgravity Science Glovebox in the Destiny Laboratory. Also in Destiny is
the Human Research Facility, where Foale configured a laptop computer for an
upcoming ultrasound experiment.
Kaleri checked the progress of the pea plants currently growing in the Lada-4
greenhouse. He also activated hardware for Skorpio, a Russian radiation
monitoring experiment.
The crew took air samples in several locations aboard the Station to test for
carbon monoxide levels.
