Gregory Olsen will carry out his own experiments while in orbit Fare-paying space tourist Gregory Olsen has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) - for a stay he expects to be more hard work than a holiday. The Russian Soyuz rocket, which also delivered a new two-man crew for the ISS, took off from Kazakhstan's Baikonur launch site on Saturday. The US businessman and scientist is taking a 10-day trip to the ISS. He is the third person to holiday there. The ticket price was not disclosed but is thought to be up to £11m ($19.3m). 'Hard work' Members of Dr Olsen's family watched the docking with US and Russian space officials at Russian Mission Control in Korolyov, outside Moscow. Dr Olsen has said he expects the trip to be a working holiday - and plans to carry out a number of self-designed experiments while he is on board. "The term 'tourist' doesn't do justice to all the work I've put in, or the work that the people at the Gagarin centre (outside Moscow) put in preparing us," Dr Olsen said before take-off. International Space Station The new two-man ISS crew will carry out two or three spacewalks He also expects to test equipment for his firm, Sensors Unlimited, which develops and produces highly sensitive film and photo cameras, and works with the US space agency (Nasa). Officials said the rocket passengers would have to wait about three hours before the air locks to the ISS were opened, allowing them to meet the station's crew. Commander William McArthur from the US, and Russian Flight Engineer Valery Tokarev, will then take over from Sergei Krikalev and John Phillips, who have been in space since April. During their stay, McArthur and Tokarev - the 12th ISS crew - will do two or three spacewalks to install equipment and carry out maintenance. Krikalev and Phillips will return to Earth along with Mr Olsen on 11 October. Two other people have previously taken a holiday on the station: American Dennis Tito in 2001 and South African Mark Shuttleworth in 2002. * boston tourist * london tourist board * london tourist information * tourist visas * russia tourist visa * irish tourist * idaho tourist * barcelona tourist * new jersey tourist * oregon tourist * chicago tourist attractions * cuba tourist * dublin tourist * hawaii tourist * us tourist visa * southern california tourist * maryland tourist * virginia tourist * england tourist * vermont tourist * tourist * colorado springs tourist * new orleans tourist * san francisco tourist attraction * usa tourist visa * charleston tourist * english tourist board * san francisco tourist sites * nyc tourist * jersey tourist board * prague tourist information * japan tourist * italy tourist information * british columbia tourist * santa fe tourist * french tourist * new zealand tourist board * berlin tourist attractions * miami tourist * niagara falls tourist information * las vegas tourist attractions * accidental tourist * florence tourist * iran tourist * irish tourist board * cornwall tourist board * tampa tourist * tourist information chester * british tourist authority * tourist information ireland * tourist photos * austin tourist * tanzania tourist * nepal tourist * australian tourist visa * vancouver tourist attraction * virginia tourist information * tourist attractions in minnesota * dortmund tourist * northumbria tourist board * greece tourist information * swedish tourist board * cambridge tourist information * reims tourist * seattle tourist information * orlando tourist information * tourist season * sicily tourist information * scottish tourist board * tourist attractions in france * tennessee tourist information * cancun tourist * australia tourist info * newcastle upon tyne tourist information * tourist attractions in new mexico * tourist attractions * tourist berlin * tourist information liverpool * tourist information cardiff * north wales tourist board * exeter tourist information * tourist information netherlands * tourist information miami * madrid tourist * northern ireland tourist * tourist attractions in * tourist information * queensland tourist information * surrey tourist information * tourist sites * philippines tourist * tourist info * tourist attraction * tourist visa * perpignan tourist * tourist board * tourist guide * tourist spots * tourist office * tourist map * northern territory tourist * tourist bureau * tourist sites in * tourist places * tourist attractions of * victoria tourist information * city tourist * virtual tourist * tourist destinations * york tourist * tourist spots in * new york tourist * tourist attraction in * and tourist * uk tourist info * tourist places in * tourist in * a tourist * italy tourist * london tourist * france tourist * prag tourist * tourist map of * for tourist * of tourist * helsinki tourist information * paris tourist * ireland tourist * tourist accomodation * famous tourist * national tourist * tourist information on * san diego tourist * orleans tourist * tourist destination * british tourist * valencia tourist information * maine tourist * tourist destinations in * republic tourist * italian tourist board * alaska tourist * australian tourist * belgium tourist office * florida tourist attractions * tourist hotel * tourist attractions in spain * venezuela tourist * orlando tourist * kansas tourist * of tourist attractions in * scottish tourist * tourist travel * montana tourist * jamaica tourist board * salvador tourist * san francisco tourist attractions * tourist to * tourist safety * dc tourist map * japan tourist attractions * valley tourist * germany tourist attractions * bay tourist * washington dc tourist information * tourist com * tourist visit * brazil tourist attractions * york city tourist information * county tourist attractions * turist * failte * touristic * touristen * tourism * attractions * visit * visitor * attraction * sightseeing * campsites * accommodation * tourists * wtb * b&b's * b&bs * bta * pitlochry * tenby * visitscotland * touristinfo * fremdenverkehrsamt * touristinformation * verkehrsverein * verkehrsamt * turistinformation * fremdenverkehr * fremdenverkehrsverein * touristeninformation * tourismusbüro * turistbyrån * verkehrsbüro * fremdenverkehrsbüro ©
