Crews Recount Busy Week's Work · 35:47 · Video: NASA · Watch at the source

In short: Watch as the astronauts of the STS-132 mission reflect on a week of intense collaboration with the Expedition 23 crew before their return to Earth.

The video features the six astronauts of the STS-132 mission—including Commander Ken Ham and Pilot Tony Antonelli—answering questions from American, Russian, and Japanese journalists. It captures the transition period as the shuttle crew prepares to depart the International Space Station.

The footage provides a rare look at the joint operations between the shuttle crew and the six members of Expedition 23. It marks the final phase of the mission before the shuttle Atlantis was scheduled to land on Wednesday.
