Astronaut Rick Mastracchio from AstroRM tweeted this image and wrote: "Long Island, Connecticut, Massachusets and more. Our orbit is swinging west so that soon we will get some great US day passes again." Expedition 38/39 crew members Mikhail Tyurin, Koichi Wakata and Mastracchio will return to Earth May 14 inside the Soyuz TMA-11M spacecraft. They will be replaced May 29 when the Expedition 40/41 crew of Maxim Suraev, Reid Wiseman and Alexander Gerst arrive inside the Soyuz TMA-13M spacecraft. Another cargo ship is set for a launch to the space station on Monday at 4:48 p.m. EDT. The Dragon commercial cargo craft will liftoff atop a Falcon 9 rocket on the SpaceX-3 mission from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
