Crew notes

Originally scheduled to fly was Joan E. Higginbotham, who was a mission specialist on STS-116.^[1] On November 21, 2007, NASA announced a change in the crew manifest, due to Higginbotham's decision to leave NASA to take a job in the private sector.^[2] Donald Pettit replaced Higginbotham for STS-126.^[3] Stephen Bowen was originally assigned to STS-124 but was moved to STS-126 to allow the shuttle to rotate an ISS crew member.^[3]
