Preflight Interview: Michael E. Lopez-Alegria08.08.06
Now, the plan calls for about halfway through your six months on orbit for Reiter to rotate with Suni Williams, who comes up on a subsequent shuttle flight. What is the reasoning behind rotating a partial crew like that?
Well, I think it all stems from the notion that the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, would like to have the third seat in the Soyuz available for a paying passenger. And, as a result, that third seat will be, usually someone will go up and down, and so the third person can’t rotate there and he or she will rotate on shuttle. So, that’s sort of the scheme that we have evolved to.
Does the training for having crews in parts, if you will, does that make anything particularly harder or easier?
Well, I think there are certain disadvantages, certainly. If you were to build a true Expedition crew, you’d like them to be sort of lockstep with each other all the time. I think this is a little bit different because we do have a fair amount of access to the ground, talking to people, e-mailing friends and family, using the IP [internet protocol] phone to be able to converse with people. That probably eases the difficulty in being isolated somewhat that is so specific to certain types of Expeditions. And, I think that the result is that the need to bond really as a single unit is not as stringent as it might be if we were going to live that kind of an experience. However, it does bring up some interesting challenges. I think there’s also some advantages because six months with the same two faces all the time, if you don’t like one of those two faces it could get old. At least, in this fashion, we will have the opportunity to change those faces once in a while.
