Ever since, she has offered in different jobs, including branch chief and also spaceport station assistant to the main of NASA's Astronaut Office.Ayers is actually a learn the U.S. Flying Force and also the first participant of NASA's 2021 astronaut training class named to a team. The Colorado indigenous finished coming from the Sky Force Academy in Colorado Springs along with a bachelor's degree in Math as well as a slight in Russian, where she was a member of the school's university volley ball team. She later on gained an owner's in Computational and Applied Mathematics coming from Rice College in Houston. Ayers functioned as a teacher fly as well as goal leader in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading global and multiservice goals worldwide. She possesses greater than 1,400 overall flight hrs, including more than 200 in battle.With 113 days in space, this purpose likewise is going to note Onishi's 2nd journey to the space station. After being actually chosen by JAXA in 2009, he flew as an air travel developer for Expeditions 48 and 49 ended up being the first Japanese rocketeer to robotically grab the Cygnus spacecraft. He also built a brand new experimental environment aboard Kibo, the terminal's Oriental experiment module.

Appointed as a test-cosmonaut in 2020, he possesses extra experience in skydiving, zero-gravity instruction, diving, and also wilderness survival.For much more than 20 years, people have stayed and functioned continuously aboard the International Spaceport station, progressing technology and demonstrating brand-new innovations, creating investigation breakthroughs certainly not possible on Earth. The place is an important testbed for NASA to know and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and also to grow business chances in low Planet orbit. As commercial business concentrate on offering individual space transportation companies as well as locations as aspect of a robust reduced Planet orbit economic climate, NASA's Artemis campaign is actually underway at the Moon, where the company is actually planning for future human exploration of Mars.Discover even more information on NASA's Office Crew System 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 Room Center, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
