Space Chiao
NASA announced yesterday that Leroy Chiao would replace Bill McArthur as commander of the upcoming Expedition 9 mission, scheduled to launch in April. McArthur is being pulled from the mission as a result of an undisclosed temporary medical condition relating to fitness for long-duration flight (about a year and a half ago, a similar thing occurred with Expedition 6 science officer Don Thomas, who was replaced by Don Pettit shortly before the mission began). In addition to serving on the back-up crew for Expedition 9, Chiao had previously been assigned as commander of Expedition 10.
