{description}   Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan -- Building 254, Soyuz
                Integration Facility. Veteran Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko
                has a leak check performed on the Russian Sokol suit. Malenchenko
                and veteran NASA astronaut Ed Lu were named as the primary crew,
                Expedition 7, for the launch to the International Space Station.
                Russian cosmonaut Alexander Kaleri and NASA astronaut Michael
                Foale are the backup crewmembers to Malenchenko and Lu.
                Expedition 6 Commander Ken Bowersox, Flight Engineer Nikolai
                Budarin and NASA Space Station Science Officer Don Pettit will
                return to Earth aboard the Soyuz TMA-1 craft in May 2003. The
                three Expedition 6 crewmembers were launched on Nov. 23, 2002.
                They have been aboard the Station since November 25. They were
                originally scheduled to return in March aboard the Space Shuttle
                Atlantis during the STS-114 mission. Malenchenko and Lu will
                continue to operate the science payloads already on board, as
                well as maintaining the Station. Photo Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls
