The Expedition 15 crew members began a new week of science experiments and station maintenance aboard the International Space Station.

Flight Engineer Clay Anderson rearranged and consolidated frozen biological samples in the Minus Eighty Degree Laboratory Freezer for ISS to conserve space and make room for future samples. He also spent some time gathering hardware and prepacking items for return on space shuttle Endeavour in August.

Meanwhile cosmonaut Oleg Kotov, flight engineer, continued to perform extensive troubleshooting of computers in the Russian segment of the station.

The crew also conducted preparations for the next spacewalk planned for July 20. Anderson recharged the first set of spacesuit batteries, and then he and Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin reconfigured their spacesuits.
