A new commander takes charge of the International Space Station
In short: As Expedition 48 begins, NASA's Jeff Williams discusses his upcoming research and the logistical complexities of life aboard the orbital laboratory during a series of in-flight interviews.
Jeff Williams assumed his second term as station commander on June 17, managing the station during a period of crew transitions and upcoming visiting vehicle activity. His six-month mission is marked by a significant milestone: on August 24, he is expected to exceed Scott Kelly's record of 520 cumulative days in space for an American astronaut. Williams is scheduled to return to Earth via the Soyuz TMA-20M spacecraft on September 6.
