NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao, left, and Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov will serve as Expedition 10 on the International Space Station.

Chiao and Sharipov arrived at the Space Station in October 2004 to relieve Expedition 9 crewmates Mike Fincke and Gennady Padalka. Chiao will serve as the expedition commander and NASA science officer, and Sharipov will serve as Soyuz commander and flight engineer.

Chiao is a veteran of three Space Shuttle flights, and spent 13 hours on two spacewalks in 2000 as part of a construction mission at the Station. Sharipov has logged over 211 hours in space. He served as a mission specialist on the Shuttle during the eighth Shuttle-Mir docking mission in 1998.
