The Space Shuttle Endeavour is set to launch Nov. 11 on a mission that will carry the International Space Station (ISS) into its third year of permanent occupancy with a new crew and a new, 14-ton truss segment to enhance future cooling and power systems.

A QSL card from Frank de Winne on ISS can become via ON7AQ via buro, or direct by Petré Tania ON7AQ, Kerkom Dorp 100, B-3800 St. Truiden, Belgium.

Zalyotin, De Winne and Lonchakov are now onboard Space Station. Taxi Crew and ISS Crew will work together until November 10 in a very busy week.

Then the next Space Shuttle Endeavour mission STS-113 will change ISS Crew onboard the Station. Launch is scheduled on Nov. 11.

Two minutes ago Soyuz TMA-1 Taxi Crew docked with the International Space Station. All is OK and clearly, before LOS for my station (10 minutes before docking), I heard ISS Crew talking with Soyuz Crew about the approach. All other operations until docking were transmitted on NASA TV.

Click HERE to see images about the docking. Images will be online in a few minutes.

Short comm. Session on 121.750 mc. Zalyotin and Lonchakov with Andrey at
TsUP. Everything all right. After the change of the purification cartridge
the amount of CO2 is gradually decreasing.....

Had a nice contact with Valery on 27 Oct 2002 at 1539 UTC. Signals were very strong here in CT.

Already have received a QSL card !
