Planned EVA for Space Station Expedition 6 Crew

Posted by michael on from the alone-in-the-dark dept.

Kathy Miles writes "The International Space Station was boosted into a 3 mile higher orbit in preparation for an April 26 launch of TMA-2. The Soyuz capsule will carry two new crew members to the ISS for Expedition 7. Expedition 6 will return in May. And on April 8, there is a planned EVA for Expedition 6 crew of Commander Ken Bowerson and Science Officer Don Pettit. The two will be continuing the ongoing outfitting of the International Space Station."

    Excellent. Perhaps during the EVA they could collect Steve Bennett's body.
