Station Keeping
Per The New York Times: The United States has finished its plans for completing the International Space Station by the end of the decade, including expansion of a science module to accommodate housing for more astronauts, NASA officials said Friday. ... Among other things, the revised plans call for expanding the use of the United States' Destiny science module aboard the station. Michael C. Kostelnik, NASA's deputy associate administrator for the shuttle and the space station, said that to do as much research as possible, NASA wanted to increase the complement of astronauts working on the station to as many as six, from the current limit of three. This may require having two or more three-person Soyuz rescue capsules assigned to the station at times, and having the American space shuttle dock at the station for longer periods, Mr. Kostelnik said.
