The incoming and outgoing residents of the International
Space Station will speak to reporters during a space-to-ground
news conference Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. EDT. The event will air
live on NASA TV.
The crews will field questions from reporters at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center, Houston, Kennedy Space Center, Fla., and
Headquarters, Washington, as well as from media at the Russian
Mission Control Center in Korolev, near Moscow.
The Expedition 10 crew, Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight
Engineer Salizhan Sharipov, arrived at the Station early
Saturday. They will replace the outgoing Expedition 9 crew,
Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Mike Fincke, who
are heading home after a six-month mission. Russian Space
Forces Test Cosmonaut Yuri Shargin joined Chiao and Sharipov
for their flight to the Station. He returns to Earth with
Padalka and Fincke on Saturday.
