For Expedition 9, Fincke served as Science Officer and Flight Engineer during his six-month stay onboard the International Space Station. While there, he performed four spacewalks. For Expedition 18, Fincke served as Commander, where he and his crew prepared the station for future six-person crews. For STS-134, he served as Mission Specialist and completed three spacewalks. Col. Fincke has logged more than a year in orbit, with nine space walks. After working with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program to develop and bring two new crewed spacecraft online, the Space-X Crew Dragon and the Boeing CST-100 Starliner, Fincke was selected to serve as the Joint Operations Commander on the first crewed experimental test flight of the Starliner. Riding on the Atlas V launch vehicle, this will be Mike’s third rocket and spacecraft combination to orbit. He is currently preparing for his fourth spaceflight, scheduled to launch to the International Space Station later this year.

  • It's a Day of Farewells for 2 Space Crews 28 July 2009, by MARCIA DUNN , AP Aerospace Writer
    It's a day of farewells for 2 space crews 28 July 2009, By MARCIA DUNN , AP Aerospace Writer In this image from NASA TV Astronaut Tom Marshburn is seen during a spacewalk on the international space station, Monday, July 27, 2009. (AP Photo/NASA TV) (AP) -- They've spent the past one-and-a-half weeks together in space, and now it's time for two teams of astronauts to say goodbye. The hatches between the linked shuttle Endeavour and international space station will be sealed late Tuesday morning. Then early in the afternoon, Endeavour will pull away and its seven astronauts will begin preparing for a landing on Friday. Among those headed home is Japanese spaceman Koichi Wakata, who's been in orbit since March. NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra replaced him aboard the space station. The Endeavour crew is leaving after delivering and installing a new porch and experiments for Japan's lab, and giving the space station some fresh batteries. The orbiting outpost is now 83 percent complete. ©2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

    NASA Mission Summary National Aeronautics and Space Administration Washington, D.C. 20546 (202) 358-1100 STS-135 MISSION SUMMARY June 2011 SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS Space shuttle Atlantis' 12-day mission to the International Space Station will deliver the Raf- faello multi-purpose logistics module filled with supplies and spare parts to sustain station op- erations once the shuttles are retired. The mission also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM), an experiment designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies and tech- niques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space, even satellites not designed to be ser- viced. The crew also will return an ammonia pump that recently failed on the station. Engineers want to understand why the pump failed and improve designs for future spacecraft. This is the final flight for shuttle Atlantis and the Space Shuttle Program. NASA’s workhorses for the past 30 years have completed their mission to build and supply the orbiting outpost, and the agency is now looking to destinations beyond low-Earth orbit.

Gentry3 Boeing Space Exploration — International Space Station, Houston, Texas, 77058 The International Space Station (ISS) Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) system includes regenerative and non -regenerative technologies that provide the basic life support functions to support the crew, while maintaining a safe and habitable shirtsleeve environment. This paper provides a summary of the U.S. ECLS system activities over the past year, covering the period of time between March 2009 and February 2010. The ISS continued permanent crew operations, with the start of Phase 3 of the ISS Assembly Sequence and an increase of the ISS crew size from three to six. Work continues on the last of the Phase 3 pressurized elements. I. Introduction HE ISS is a global partnership of 15 nations representing six space age ncies, including the United States TNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Italian Space Agency (ASI). The participating countries are Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy; Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The ISS operates at an altitude of approximately 310 to 350 km (170 to 190 nautical miles) and an inclination of 51.6° to the equator.
