NASA SETS MEDIA BRIEFING FOR CREWS ON SPACE STATION

HOUSTON -- The astronauts, cosmonauts and spaceflight participant

Reporters may ask questions from NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston; 
NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla.; NASA Headquarters in Washington; 
and from the Russian Mission Control Center in Moscow. The 30-minute

Members of the 17th crew of the station, Expedition 17 Commander 
Sergei Volkov and Flight Engineer Oleg Kononenko, docked their Soyuz 
spacecraft to the station early Thursday. With them is South Korean
