Space Station Crew Vehicle Will Move June 28 for Cargo Ship Arrival

HOUSTON -- NASA Television will broadcast live the repositioning of a
Soyuz spacecraft docked to the International Space Station on Monday,
June 28. The capsule's half-hour journey from the Zvezda Service
Module to the Rassvet Module will begin at 12:58 p.m. CDT.

Expedition 24 Flight Engineer and Soyuz Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin
and NASA Flight Engineers Doug Wheelock and Shannon Walker will board
the Soyuz TMA-19 vehicle that docked to Zvezda on June 18. They will
fly the Soyuz vehicle a short distance to Rassvet. NASA TV coverage
of the event will begin at 12:30 p.m.

The change of location will free the Zvezda port for the docking of a
new Progress resupply vehicle on Friday, July 2. That port is the
preferred location for the Progress, so it can help reboost the
station and adjust its altitude. The Progress will carry 2.5 tons of
food, fuel and supplies.

The resupply vehicle will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in
Kazakhstan on June 30. NASA TV will not broadcast the launch, but
will show the live coverage of Progress' docking at 11:55 a.m. on
July 2. Live coverage will begin at 11:30 a.m.
