Space station marks two years of continuous crews on board


The International Space Station marks two years of continuous habitation Saturday as a three-man Soyuz crew visits the station's residents.

The three-person station crew - Commander Valery Korzun, Peggy Whitson and Sergei Treschev - welcomed the Soyuz crew at 12:01 a.m. EST Friday. The Soyuz was brought up by Russians Sergei Zalyotin and Yuri Lonchakov and Belgian Frank De Winne, who will return to Earth in the old Soyuz docked to the station.
