Yes, the lady from India is an American citizen.
The only non citizen is the israeli pilot.
Someone said something on the radio that it's lucky it exploded when the Israeli hero was on board: A few flights ago there was a Saudi prince on the space shuttle, and if it had exploded with him on board it would be an international incident.

Most of the crew are pilots as has, in general, always been the case. Aerospace folks like to fly. But the Israeli was the payload specialist. He was not flying. Actually, there's no reason to believe that anyone was piloting. It was on autopilot as usual.
