ISS Update
In their first week on the International Space Station, Expedition 8 Commander-NASA ISS Science Officer Michael Foale and Flight Engineer Alexander Kaleri focused on science activities, Station maintenance, exercise and more familiarization with their new home. Kaleri set up, worked with and then stowed the Russian PILOT experiment, which looks at psychological and physiological changes in crew performance during long-duration spaceflight. The subject uses two hand controllers to make inputs for the experiment.

Foale did inspections of the emergency lighting power supply in the U.S. laboratory Destiny and the Unity Node modules of the Station.

Information on the crew’s activities aboard the Space Station, and instructions on how to view the Space Station from anywhere on Earth, is available at http://spaceflight.nasa.gov. Details on Space Station science operations can be found on an Internet site administered by the Payload Operations Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., at http://scipoc.msfc.nasa.gov/ .
