Expedition 14 Arrives At ISS

NASA reports Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin entered their new home, the International Space Station, at 4:34 am EDT Wednesday morning. They are in the early hours of a six-month stay at the orbital outpost, which began when the Soyuz TMA 9 spacecraft docked at 1:21 am.

They were greeted by the Expedition 13 crew members upon floating through the hatch between the station and the Soyuz spacecraft.

Accompanying Expedition 14 is American Anousheh Ansari, who is the first female spaceflight participant to visit the station. She is flying under contract with the Russian Federal Space Agency.

Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin will replace Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov and NASA Science Officer Jeff Williams. European Space Agency Astronaut Thomas Reiter will remain on the station, and join Expedition 14.

Vinogradov, Williams and Ansari are slated to return to Earth on September 28.
