The space station's first six-person crew is adapting to a more crowded habitat than they're used to.

The second half of the team â€" Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, Belgian astronaut Frank De Winne of ESA, and Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk â€" arrived May 29, boosting the population of long-term residents at the International Space Station (ISS) from its usual three to six.

"It's great having everybody here," NASA astronaut Michael Barratt said during an in-space press conference today. Barratt has been serving onboard the orbiting laboratory as a flight engineer for two months already. "It's great having the extra bodies and the extra noise. And for us, it's three new crewmates to share the adventure and share the workload."
