The three residents of the International Space Station were busy with science experiments and maintenance activities Friday as they await the arrival of three additional crew members.

Joining Expedition 28 Commander Andrey Borisenko and Flight Engineers Alexander Samokutyaev and Ron Garan aboard the station next week will be Flight Engineers Mike Fossum, Sergei Volkov and Satoshi Furukawa. They are scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Tuesday aboard the Soyuz TMA-02M spacecraft and arrive at the station Thursday.
