Take a look!...

I was so excited I got the name wrong, how embarrassing !

Is there any way to get audio from the space station side? =)

My first contact with ISS was very short, just an acknowledgement that Doug Wheelock received my call.

The Expedition 24 crew members aboard the International Space Station focused on spacewalk preparations and maintenance activities Wednesday.

To prepare for a six-hour spacewalk set to begin at 11:45 p.m. EDT Monday, Flight Engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin and Mikhail Kornienko installed new batteries in the Russian Orlan spacesuits they will wear on their excursion. The spacewalkers will install Kurs automated rendezvous equipment on the exterior of the recently delivered Rassvet module to facilitate future dockings with Russian spacecraft. A dry run of the spacewalk will take place Friday when the cosmonauts will wear the spacesuits, practice their movements and test their mobility.
