 Two radio amateurs set to launch to ISS

The ARRL reports two more radio amateurs will join Expedition 44 on
the International Space Station

Three new International Space Station (ISS) crew members will launch
July 23 (UT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Kjell Lindgren,
KO5MOS; Oleg Kononenko, RN3DX, and Kimiya Yui will travel into space
in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft that will rendezvous with the ISS and
dock after four orbits of Earth. NASA TV will cover the activities.

Expedition 44 Commander Gennady Padalka, RN3DT, and Flight Engineers
Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko, RN3BF, will be on hand to greet the
newcomers.

Lindgren, Kononenko, and Yui will remain on station until late
December. Kelly and Kornienko, who have been onboard the ISS since
March, will return to Earth next March at the end of their 1-year
mission. Padalka, who also has been aboard since March, will return to
Earth in September.
