During the stay on the station Michael Foale was the ISS Commander, while Aleksandr Kaleri was the engineer. Foale was the first American to have served on both
Mir
and the ISS. Pedro Duque performed some
ESA
sponsored science experiments under the mission name
Cervantes
and then returned with the ISS 7 crew on
Soyuz TMA-2
.
The backup crew was
William McArthur
,
Valery Tokarev
and
Andre Kuipers
.
Foale and Kaleri along with
