I wonder if that's another Japanese flag on the module to the left: the dark circle on the white rectangle?

I think that is the NASA logo....

I also found 5 flags! I was looking for all Canadian, how very silly, of course many countries are involved with the fascinating INTERNATIONAL Space Station. I also saw Mike Fossums face!!! very exciting!

Two National flags appear! And 1 NASA and MIKE FOSSUMS face. Totally awesome!

I count 5 also; 3 Canada, 1 Japan, 1 USA

There is no USA flag on the shoulder of the astronaut in the foreground.

There is another astronaut in the background in the blue area; all you see is the back of the EMU.

The flag is on the center top of the EMU.

HA ... now I see the flag on the shoulder of the astronaut in the foreground.

So ... that makes 4 Canada, 1 Japan, and 2 USA national flags.

Good catch! I do believe it is another astronaut!

So, your total above would appear to be the answer.

Там 7 семь флагов: 4 Канада, 1 Япония, 1 США, 1 НАСА

The second astronaut (see arrow) is most likely Ron Garan who was scheduled to accompany Fossum on the RRM move. I found another picture taken a slightly different time showing the 2nd astronaut has moved. The helmet and 2 temple lights are more visible, while the back of the EMU (and flag) is not.

Isn't that a German flag in that piece of equipment he is pushing?

The only ones I could identify as flags with any certainty whatsoever (and using some tricky image enhancements) are shown here:
I count that as 5 Canadian, 1 US, and 1 Japanese.

Contrary to some of the above posters, I could not find any flags on the foreground spacesuit. There are just not enough pixels in the one presumably on the shoulder to identify it.

I only see 4 Canadian flags. It seems that the patch on the space suit's arm is a NASA emblem, not a US flag in this case.
