McClain possesses greater than 2,300 flight hrs in 24 turning and fixed-wing airplane, consisting of greater than 800 in battle, as well as belonged to the USA Women's National Rugby Group. On her very first spaceflight, McClain invested 204 times as a flight designer throughout Explorations 58 and 59 and also was the bait two spacewalks, totaling 13 hours as well as 8 minutes. Since then, she has actually provided in several tasks, consisting of branch principal as well as space station associate to the chief of NASA's Rocketeer Office.Ayers is actually a major in the united state Aviation Service as well as the very first member of NASA's 2021 astronaut training class called to a workers. The Colorado indigenous graduated coming from the Sky Force Academy in Colorado Springs with an undergraduate's degree in Mathematics and also a minor in Russian, where she belonged to the academy's university volley ball group. She later on gained an owner's in Computational and also Applied Math from Rice University in Houston. Ayers functioned as a trainer captain and purpose leader in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading global and also multiservice objectives worldwide. She possesses much more than 1,400 overall air travel hours, including greater than 200 in combat.With 113 times precede, this mission likewise will certainly denote Onishi's second travel to the space station. After being actually decided on through JAXA in 2009, he soared as an air travel engineer for Trips 48 as well as 49 came to be the very first Oriental astronaut to robotically catch the Cygnus space probe. He additionally designed a new experimental setting aboard Kibo, the terminal's Japanese experiment element. Because his spaceflight, Onishi became certified as a JAXA trip supervisor, leading the staff responsible for running Kibo from JAXA Purpose Control in Tsukuba, Asia.

Delegated as a test-cosmonaut in 2020, he has additional experience in sky diving, zero-gravity instruction, diving, and wild survival.For much more than two decades, folks have actually resided and also worked regularly aboard the International Space Station, advancing technology and displaying brand-new technologies, creating research advances not possible in the world. The place is actually an important testbed for NASA to comprehend and also eliminate the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and also to expand office opportunities in reduced Planet orbit. As business business pay attention to supplying human space transit companies and also destinations as aspect of a strong reduced Planet orbit economy, NASA's Artemis project is actually underway at the Moon, where the organization is getting ready for future individual expedition of Mars.Discover even more information on NASA's Office Workers Program 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 Facility, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
