The crew members enjoyed light duty days on Monday and Tuesday,
resting up after the extended spacewalk and its follow up activities.
They resumed a normal work and sleep schedule Wednesday. Another
off-duty day for the crew is scheduled for Monday.
This afternoon, the ISS Progress 21 thrusters were used to boost the
station by a little less than one mile, placing the complex at the
correct altitude for the launch and docking of the next cargo
vehicle, ISS Progress 22.
Other work this week included some final spacewalk tool stowage tasks
and the reconfiguration of the station's systems, including the
communications system in the Russian Zvezda Service Module and the
Pirs airlock.
Williams, who also serves as the NASA's station science officer, ran a
session of two colloid experiments: Investigating the Structure of
Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions or InSpace and
Binary Colloidal Alloy Test or BCAT. Vinogradov worked with two
Russian life science experiments – URAGAN, which is a ground and
space based system for predicting natural and manmade disasters, and
DIATOMEA, an ocean observations program.
The next station status report will be issued on Friday, June 16, or
earlier if events warrant. For more about the crew's activities and
