New Crew Arrives at Space Station
Three new spaceflyers arrived at the International Space Station Tuesday wearing Christmas hats and bearing holiday cheer.
NASA astronaut Timothy (T.J.) Creamer, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov, and Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi launched Sunday, and arrived at the space laboratory at 5:48 p.m. EDT (2248 GMT), and opened the hatches between the two craft at 7:30 p.m. EST (0030 GMT Wednesday).
Kotov floated onto the station wearing a red Santa hat and carrying a small Christmas tree, while Noguchi floated in after him in a matching hat, with a white sack of presents hung over his shoulder. Creamer wore an elf hat (complete with pointy ears) and elf shoes.
