		That distinction falls to European Space Agency astronaut Pedro Duque, who will launch with Kaleri and Foale, spend a week aboard the space station, and then return to Earth with the current crew, Malenchenko and Lu, in their older Soyuz craft.
		Duque explained that he is flying as part of a European strategy to get short-term experience aboard the station, and to train a cadre of European astronauts as certified flight engineers so they can assume even more responsible crew positions later.
		What this means is that Kaleri has to train as the commander with three different possible flight engineers — with Duque for launch (and possible abort landing), with Foale for an emergency evacuation landing, and with Kuipers for a nominal landing next April.
