McClain has greater than 2,300 trip hrs in 24 rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, featuring much more than 800 in combat, and also belonged to the U.S. Female's National Rugby Staff. On her initial spaceflight, McClain invested 204 times as a flight engineer during Trips 58 and 59 and also was actually the bait two spacewalks, totaling 13 hours as well as 8 moments. Ever since, she has served in several jobs, including branch principal and spaceport station aide to the main of NASA's Astronaut Workplace.Ayers is actually a major in the united state Aviation Service and the 1st participant of NASA's 2021 rocketeer class named to a workers. The Colorado native earned a degree coming from the Air Troop Academy in Colorado Springs along with a bachelor's level in Math and also a minor in Russian, where she belonged to the school's university beach ball group. She eventually made a master's in Computational and also Applied Mathematics from Rice Educational Institution in Houston. Ayers acted as a trainer fly and also goal leader in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading global and also multiservice goals worldwide.

The place is a crucial testbed for NASA to understand as well as beat the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to increase industrial options in reduced The planet track. As business providers pay attention to supplying individual area transit services and also locations as portion of a sturdy low Earth orbit economic situation, NASA's Artemis project is actually underway at the Moon, where the organization is planning for future individual exploration of Mars.Locate more details on NASA's Business Workers Course at:.https://www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.- end-.Joshua Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Raegan ScharfetterJohnson Space Center, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
