Commander Mark Kelly and his six crewmates, pilot Ken
Ham and mission specialists Karen Nyberg, Ron Garan, Mike Fossum, Greg Chamitoff, all NASA astronauts,
and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide. are the seven-member crew of the Discovery.
Chamitoff will stay aboard the Space Station after the mission completes. He will be the replacement for the current ISS Expedition 17 flight engineer Garrett Reisman. Ending his mission at the ISS, Reisman will return to Earth when the STS-124 crewmembers fly home to the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, after completing their assignments in space.
