The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
The spacecraft will transport three more crewmembers (ESA astronaut Frank De Winne, Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk) to the ISS.
This will bring its ISS crewmembers to six, the largest number of people to inhabit the Space Station for an Expedition mission.
Four missions are necessary, two in the spring and two in the fall of 2012, because the ISS is now accommodating six crewmembers at a time, and each Soyuz spacecraft has a full capacity of only three persons.
The May 28, 2009 NASA media report states, “Under the contract modification, the Soyuz flights will carry limited cargo to and from the station, and dispose of trash. The cargo allowed per person is approximately 110 pounds launched to the station, approximately 37 pounds returned to Earth, and trash disposal of approximately 66 pounds.”
