Change in command aboard the Space Station

The NASA and SpaceX Crew-3 astronauts gave farewell remarks Tuesday as they participated in a change of command ceremony at the International Space Station. The station's four newest crew members have been on the station less than a week and are already beginning their first science experiments while also getting up to speed with lab systems and operations.

The current commander, Tim Marshburn, has handed over the leadership role to Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev. Marshburn and three other astronauts are preparing to leave the space station and return to Earth later this week.
