With the previous Expedition crew now back on Earth, the Expedition 15 crew begins a new week of science and maintenance aboard the International Space Station.
On Monday, Flight Engineer Suni Williams worked with the Capillary Flow Experiment (CFE) equipment and performed an experiment. CFE studies the interaction of liquids with solid surfaces in a microgravity environment.
Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin and Spaceflight Participant Charles Simonyi landed safely in their Soyuz TMA-9 spacecraft in the steppes of Kazakhstan on Saturday at 8:31 a.m. EDT.
Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin will now spend several weeks in Star City, near Moscow, for debriefing and medical examinations.
