KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- Expedition Three crew members cosmonaut Vladimir Dezhurov (left) and Commander Frank Culbertson (right) walk to their T-38 jets for their morning training flights. The Expedition Three and STS-105 crews are preparing for launch on Aug. 9. On mission STS-105, Discovery will be transporting the Expedition Three crew and several payloads and scientific experiments to the Space Station. The Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) tank, which contains spare ammonia for the Station’s cooling system and will support the thermal control subsystems until a permanent system is activated, will be attached to the Station during two spacewalks. The three-member Expedition Two crew will be returning to Earth aboard Discovery after a five-month stay on the Station KSC-01pp1431

At the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Expedition 27 Flight Engineer Andrey Borisenko (left), Soyuz Commander Alexander Samokutyaev (center) and NASA Flight Engineer Ron Garan walk past their Soyuz booster during dress rehearsal activities March 22, 2011. The booster, like the Soyuz TMA-21 spacecraft in which they will launch, is adorned with the name “Gagarin” and the likeness of Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space. The Soyuz TMA-21 is scheduled for launch on April 5 (April 4, U.S. time), just one week shy of the 50th anniversary of Gagarin’s historic journey into space from the same launch pad that the Expedition 27 crew will begin their mission from.
