(Mike) Fincke, former Station residents, share a laugh during the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics hearing chaired by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), as current Station astronaut John L. Phillips, Expedition 11 NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer, testifies via video screen in the background. Phillips was approximately 220 statute miles above Earth, but his radio transmissions were routed to a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) in geostationary orbit at an altitude of about 22,300 miles.
