Winter (WQOW) - An astronaut from northwest Wisconsin is making a trip to space, for the third time.

This trip, Jeffrey Williams of Winter, will help finish construction of the International Space Station, as part of a six-member crew.

Williams was aboard the Shuttle Atlantis in 2001. Five years later, he spent six months helping to build the space station. In September, he'll join Russian Cosmonauts in a Soyuz Rocket. He'll serve for two months as a flight engineer, and then four months as the mission's commander.
