On her 1st spaceflight, McClain spent 204 days as a trip engineer during Explorations 58 as well as 59 as well as was the lead on two spacewalks, totting thirteen hours and 8 moments. Since then, she has actually offered in different tasks, consisting of division chief as well as spaceport station associate to the chief of NASA's Rocketeer Office.Ayers is a learn the USA Aviation Service as well as the initial participant of NASA's 2021 astronaut training class called to a workers. The Colorado indigenous graduated coming from the Air Troop School in Colorado Springs along with a bachelor's degree in Mathematics as well as a minor in Russian, where she belonged to the school's varsity beach ball staff. She later got an owner's in Computational and also Applied Math coming from Rice College in Houston. Ayers served as a teacher fly as well as objective leader in the T-38 ADAIR and also F-22 Raptor, leading international and multiservice missions worldwide.

The station is a vital testbed for NASA to comprehend and also get over the problems of long-duration spaceflight as well as to grow business chances in low Planet track. As industrial companies focus on supplying individual space transportation companies and also locations as component of a sturdy reduced Planet track economic condition, NASA's Artemis initiative is underway at the Moon, where the company is actually getting ready for potential human expedition of Mars.Locate much more info on NASA's Business Team Course at:.https://www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.- side-.Joshua Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Raegan ScharfetterJohnson Room Facility, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
