Crew Busy with Spacewalk Preps, Maintenance and Science
After enjoying some time off during a light-duty weekend, the Expedition 24 crew of the International Space Station got back to work Monday, preparing for a series of upcoming spacewalks, conducting routine maintenance and working with science experiments.
Flight Engineers Mikhail Kornienko and Fyodor Yurchikhin reviewed procedures and the timeline for a spacewalk scheduled for July 26 that will outfit the recently installed Rassvet module with automated Kurs rendezvous and docking capability for approaching Russian vehicles.
Flight Engineer Doug Wheelock performed routine scrubbing on the cooling loops in the U.S. spacesuits that he and Flight Engineer Tracy Caldwell Dyson will wear during a spacewalk scheduled for August 5.
