McClain possesses more than 2,300 flight hrs in 24 turning as well as fixed-wing aircraft, consisting of greater than 800 in battle, and also was a member of the united state Women's National Rugby Team. On her very first spaceflight, McClain invested 204 days as a tour designer during the course of Expeditions 58 and also 59 and was actually the bait pair of spacewalks, amounting to thirteen hrs and 8 minutes. Since then, she has offered in a variety of tasks, including division main and also space station associate to the principal of NASA's Rocketeer Office.Ayers is actually a major in the united state Flying Force as well as the 1st member of NASA's 2021 astronaut class named to a workers. The Colorado indigenous finished from the Sky Troop Institute in Colorado Springs with a bachelor's degree in Math and also a small in Russian, where she belonged to the academy's varsity volleyball crew. She later earned a master's in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice Educational Institution in Houston. Ayers served as a teacher captain and mission commander in the T-38 ADAIR and also F-22 Raptor, leading multinational and multiservice purposes worldwide. She possesses greater than 1,400 complete tour hours, consisting of more than 200 in combat.With 113 days precede, this objective also is going to mark Onishi's second journey to the spaceport station. After being actually picked by JAXA in 2009, he soared as an air travel designer for Expeditions 48 as well as 49 ended up being the first Oriental rocketeer to robotically record the Cygnus space capsule.

The station is a vital testbed for NASA to recognize as well as get over the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to increase industrial opportunities in low Earth track. As commercial firms pay attention to giving human space transit solutions and locations as aspect of a durable reduced The planet orbit economy, NASA's Artemis initiative is underway at the Moon, where the agency is getting ready for potential individual exploration of Mars.Discover extra info on NASA's Commercial 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 Room Facility, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
