ARLS010 NASA Selects Expedition 7 Crew
NASA named veteran Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, RK3DUP, and veteran NASA astronaut Ed Lu, KC5WKJ, as the International Space Station's Expedition 7 primary crew April 1. Malenchenko, the crew commander, and Lu will be the first two-person ISS crew and the first to travel to the space station on a Russian Soyuz TMA-2 spacecraft. Plans call for an April 26 launch from Kazakhstan.
Russian cosmonaut Alexander Kaleri, U8MIR and NASA astronaut Mike Foale, KB5UAC, are the back-up crewmembers for Expedition 7.
Originally scheduled to return in March aboard the space shuttle Atlantis STS-114 mission, Expedition 6 Commander Ken Bowersox, KD5JBP, Flight Engineer Nikolai Budarin, RV3FB, and NASA Space Station Science Officer Don Pettit, KD5MDT, will return to Earth aboard a Soyuz craft in May. They have been in space since November 23.
The fresh crew will remain in space until October, when a new crew will be sent up. NASA has said that until the space shuttle returns to flight-ready status, Russian Soyuz vehicles will handle ISS crew rotations. Additional unmanned Russian Progress cargo rocket flights have been scheduled to keep the ISS well stocked. NNNN /EX
