Two Radio Amateurs are Among Three New ISS Crew Members

After a 6-hour flight, astronauts Mark Vande Hei, KG5GNP, and Joe Acaba, 
KE5DAR,
and cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin arrived at the International Space 
Station on
September 12. The trio launched aboard the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft from
Kazakhstan, orbited Earth four times, and then docked at the space 
station. The
hatches between the spacecraft and station opened early on September 13.

The arrival of Vande Hei, Acaba, and Misurkin restores the station's crew to
six. They join Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik, and Flight Engineers
Sergey Ryazanskiy and Paolo Nespoli, IZ0JPA, on station.

The new Expedition 53/54 crew members will spend more than 4 months 
aboard the
ISS, conducting approximately 250 science investigations in fields such as
biology, Earth science, human research, physical sciences and technology
development.

Once they've settled in, Acaba and Vande Hei are expected to average one 
or two
— and possibly as many as four — Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) contacts a week. That rate will drop when Nespoli leaves in
December with Bresnik and Ryazanskiy. Vande Hei, Acaba, and Misurkin are 
slated
to return in February.
