ISS Expedition 24 is the mission name for the 24th long-term crew of the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began on June 2, 2010 with the decoupling of the Soyuz TMA-17 spacecraft from the ISS. Originally, the end was to be marked on September 24, 2010 by the decoupling of Soyuz TMA-18 . However, due to a technical defect in the docking mechanism, Alexander Skworzow, Tracy Caldwell-Dyson and Michail Kornijenko could not undock on September 24, 2010 and had to return to the ISS. The second attempt to disconnect one day later on September 25, 2010 went without any problems. Soyuz TMA-18 landed in the Kazakh steppe near Arkalyk at around 5:23 a.m. UTC .

Substitute team
Since Expedition 20, no official replacement team has been announced due to the permanent training for the six-person crew. Unofficially, the backup crews of the two Soyuz feeder spaceships TMA-18 and TMA-19 (see there) are considered substitute crews for Expedition 24. As a rule, these crews are deployed two missions later.
