    Expedition 11, Space Tourist Back on Earth 11 October 2005 The Soyuz TMA spacecraft undocked from the station at 5:49 p.m. EDT. Its re-entry was flawless. It brought the three men aboard to a landing about 53 miles northeast of Arkalyk after 179 days and 23 minutes in space for the E11 crew. The recovery team reached the capsule in minutes. Krikalev and Phillips will spend several weeks in Star City, near Moscow, for debriefing and medical examinations. They launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan last April 14. During their increment they performed a spacewalk, continued station maintenance and did scientific experiments. While aboard the station, Krikalev became the world's most experienced spacefarer. On Aug. 16 The Expedition 11 landed back on Earth Monday his cumulative time in space passed the record of at 9:09 p.m. EDT after undocking from the 747 days, 14 hours and 14 minutes set by international space station at 5:49 p.m. EDT.

Bartoe and Thomas Holloway NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, USA The first phase of the International Space Station construction has been completed, and research has begun. Russian, U.S., and Canadian hardware is on orbit, ard Italian logistics modules have visited often. With the delivery of the U.S. Laboratory, Destiny, significant research capability is in place, and dozens of U.S. and Russian experiments have been conducted. Crew members have been on orbit continuously since November 2000. Several "bumps in the road" have occurred along the way, and each has been systematically overcome. Enormous amounts of hardware and software are being developed by the International Space Station partners and participants around the world and are largely on schedule for launch. Significant progress has been made in the testing of completed elements at launch sites in the United States and Kazakhstan. Over 250,000 kg of flight hardware have been delivered to the Kennedy Space Center and integrated testing of several elements wired together has progressed extremely well. Mission control centers are fully functioning in Houston, Moscow, and Canada, and operations centers Darmstadt, Tsukuba, Turino, and Huntsville will be going on line as they are required. Extensive coordination efforts continue among the space agencies of the five partners and two participants, involving 16 nations. All of them continue to face their own challenges and have achieved significant successes.

  • Peggy Whitson
    PEGGY WHITSON THE LONGEST WOMAN TO STAY IN SPACE INSPIRING facts She holds so many records, for being the oldest woman aged 57: more days in space then any American astronaut of either gender ; more days in space then any other female in the world. The first woman to command the International space station; and most space walks of any female astronaut . She was a biochemist So she sent back as much data as she could She always requested more missions one of the reasons Whiston racked up so many space time. Is because as soon as she landed down from one mission, she requests another one. She was an accomplished space chef with her culinary experiments using freeze dried tortillas. The only 2 things she missed was non freeze dried pizzas and her husband who works on the ground at the Jonson space centre. Peggy Annette Whitson spent 665 days 22 SPACE hours 22 minutes and 36 seconds her selection was in 1996:NASA group . In total TIME EVAs 10 total EVA time 60 hours 21 minutes.

The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientific research, technology development, exploration and education. As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other government agencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone working together, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth. This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrate each and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year. Regards, MICHAEL T.
