At 6:35 p.m., astronaut Greg Chamitoff notified Mission Control that he had installed his seat liner in the Soyuz capsule. With that action, Chamitoff became a member of the space station Expedition 17 crew, swapping places with Garrett Reisman. Reisman, now an STS124 crew member, will return to Earth aboard Discovery. Chamitoff will remain aboard the space station until November, when he returns on STS126.
