Russia has sent a new replacement crew to the ISS (International Space Station). The crew consists of 3 men and will be relacing the current two-men crew.
John Phillips from US and Sergei Krikalyov from Russia will most likely stay on the station for 6 months. The third crewmember is Roberto Vittori from Italy. He will be up in the space eight days and then returns to earth together with the old crew.
One of the new crew's upcoming tasks is to welcome the return of an American space shuttle to ISS. For two years the Russian shuttle Soyuz has been the only link with the space station. American shuttle Discovery will try to dock with the ISS next month.
