Currently there are 9 licensed American Amateur Radio operators on the ISS currently going by the list that is at the ARISS site on RAC.org.
Is this the most hams in space to date or has there been more before this shuttle-ISS mission?

Please cite the names and call signs. This will be very useful anecdote for a ham class nearing completion for a group of high school students.
