Whats going on today on Space Station

Normally the International Space Station crew uses water made as a byproduct of the station's electrical system or water launched to the space station; however, NASA only has ten more flights scheduled. After 2010, the only way to go to the space station will be to use the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. NASA plans to have their next generation of space transportation, the lunar-capable Orion vehicle, ready four years after the shuttle program ends.

Space Station

The crews on the shuttle/station complex worked to install racks and transfer equipment and supplies to the station. The primary goal of the STS-126 mission is to provide additional capability for the station to house astronauts and to increase the station crew size from three to six by spring 2009. Wednesday's work brought the station closer to that goal.
