Five Radio Amateurs Now Aboard the Space Station
NEWINGTON, CT, Jul 7, 2006–Five astronaut-hams now are aboard the International Space Station, and one of them — European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter, DF4TR — has officially joined the Expedition 13 crew for the remainder of its duty tour and for about half of Expedition 14’s tour — six months in all, according to NASA. His arrival marks the first time since May 2003 that the ISS has had a three-member crew. Reiter and six other astronauts — two of them also hams — arrived July 6 aboard shuttle Discovery. The shuttle docked to the ISS July 6 at 1452 UTC.
There to greet the newcomers when they came aboard the ISS July 6 at 1630 UTC were Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov, RV3BS, and Flight Engineer and NASA Science Officer Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ.
