Crew Pic[edit]

I don't know how to fix it, but the picture of the commander seems bigger than it should be. Chuck 02:57, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • It doesn't want to change. I've already tried the normal method. Can anyone help? --GW_Simulations 18:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is Thomas Reiter still considered as a member of Expedition 13 when he is in the ISS with Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin, or is he considered as transferred to Expedition 14 ? In the second case, there would be two "third crewmember" of Expedition 14, Reiter and Sunita Williams, Williams becoming herself member of Expedition 15 when their Expedition 14 crewmates fly back to Earth.

  • The press conference at JSC of today has indeed indicated that Reiter is official Expedition 14 crewmember from September. Hektor 19:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Docking time[edit]

I tried to add it under Mission Statistics but I ended up screwing up. Can someone who knows what they are doing fix it. Also Time docked isn't filled out under Mission parameters. Should something be done about that?

Tyurin's golf ball[edit]

Just looking at bringing the outdated parts of this article up to date.

The website linked to, giving the distance travelled for Tyurin's ball, does not do any tracking of the ball as such, the javascript code here [1] just assumes a consant speed for it as follows.

// Distance Travelled
var shotDate = new Date(2006,10,22);
var curDate =  new Date();
var shottime = 19 * 60 * 60 + 50 * 60 + 55;
var nowtime;
//Get current time in seconds
nowtime = curDate.getHours() * 60 * 60 + curDate.getMinutes() * 60 + curDate.getSeconds();
var one_day=1000*60*60*24;
var daystravelled = Math.ceil((curDate.getTime()-shotDate.getTime())/(one_day));
var flighttime = daystravelled * 24 * 60 * 60 - shottime + nowtime;
var distkm = Math.round(flighttime * 7.9999999);
var distmiles = Math.round(flighttime * 7.9999999 /1.6);
// end of Distance Travelled

Therefore it's not a real indicator of how long the ball has been in space.

So I searched the web to try and find when the ball did re-enter. After a brief search, I have not yet found a reliable source for the date when the ball re-entered, so I think details currently on the page regarding the duration of the ball in space may be speculative and should be removed along with the link to this script. If any reliable sources (not based on the above script) are found that state when the ball actually re-entered (or even if it is still up there), then such information should be added.

OK, I've made some small changes at least to bring parts of the article up to date. Green Lane (talk) 19:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
