Thursday, 25 September 2008 21:47
After yesterday's nominal Progress M-65/30P docking (2:43pm EDT), crew activities today dealt mostly with cargo unloading, transferring, unpacking, stowing and IMS (Inventory Management System) logging. Using an uplinked transfer list, CDR Volkov & FE-1 Kononenko had about 4.5 hrs reserved for stowing cargo items in the limited free volume zones of the FGB, including 26 KRP containers with Russian food rations (2 for ISS-17, 24 for ISS-18/Fincke, Lonchakov, Wakata), 6 containers and 2 CTBs (Cargo Transfer Bags) with American 'bonus' food (Fincke, Lonchakov, Chamitoff). Food rations include 'skip cycle' backup stock for the event of missed Progress 31P delivery. Eagerly awaited fresh food packages include tomatoes, apples, grapefruits, onions and garlic. - NASA Office of Space Operations
