Expedition Six Commander Ken Bowersox, Flight Engineer Nikolai Budarin

and NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit are waiting for the arrival of

the Progress cargo ship, which is en route to the International Space

Station. Progress 10 is slated to dock with the International Space

Station at 8:50 a.m. CST (1450 GMT) Tuesday. It is filled with supplies

and equipment for the station.

Monday, they prepared for the cargo ship's arrival by testing systems

that will be used during docking. Also, Bowersox and Budarin reviewed

procedures for a backup system.

Pettit set up and activated equipment for the Effects of EVA and

Long-Term Exposure to Microgravity on Pulmonary Function, or PuFF,

experiment. Then, all three crewmembers conducted sessions with Puff,

which is studying the effects of space flight and spacewalks on human

lung function.

Also, the crew received a call from former President George Bush and Mrs.

Barbara Bush. They were visiting the Mission Control Center, in Houston,

Texas.
