McClain has greater than 2,300 flight hrs in 24 rotating and also fixed-wing aircraft, featuring more than 800 in combat, and belonged to the USA Female's National Rugby Crew. On her first spaceflight, McClain spent 204 times as a tour developer throughout Trips 58 as well as 59 and also was the bait two spacewalks, completing 13 hrs and 8 mins. Ever since, she has actually provided in different parts, consisting of branch chief and also space station assistant to the principal of NASA's Astronaut Workplace.Ayers is a learn the USA Flying Force and the 1st participant of NASA's 2021 astronaut lesson called to a staff. The Colorado native earned a degree from the Air Force School in Colorado Springs with an undergraduate's degree in Mathematics and a slight in Russian, where she was a member of the academy's varsity beach ball group. She later on earned an owner's in Computational as well as Applied Math coming from Rice College in Houston. Ayers acted as a teacher pilot as well as purpose leader in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading global as well as multiservice objectives worldwide. She has greater than 1,400 overall air travel hrs, consisting of greater than 200 in fight.With 113 times precede, this purpose also will note Onishi's second vacation to the space station.

Assigned as a test-cosmonaut in 2020, he has extra adventure in sky diving, zero-gravity training, scuba diving, and wilderness survival.For more than two decades, individuals have actually resided and functioned regularly aboard the International Spaceport station, evolving technology and illustrating new modern technologies, making research study discoveries not achievable on Earth. The place is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to recognize as well as conquer the challenges of long-duration spaceflight as well as to increase office chances in low Planet orbit. As business companies focus on providing individual area transport solutions as well as locations as part of a strong reduced Planet track economy, NASA's Artemis initiative is actually underway at the Moon, where the organization is preparing for future human exploration of Mars.Find extra relevant information on NASA's Commercial Crew Plan 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.
