McClain has more than 2,300 air travel hrs in 24 rotary and fixed-wing plane, consisting of greater than 800 in combat, and belonged to the U.S. Female's National Rugby Crew. On her initial spaceflight, McClain invested 204 days as a tour engineer during the course of Explorations 58 and also 59 as well as was the bait pair of spacewalks, totaling 13 hrs and also 8 minutes. Ever since, she has provided in a variety of jobs, including division principal and also spaceport station aide to the main of NASA's Astronaut Workplace.Ayers is a major in the U.S. Aviation Service and also the initial participant of NASA's 2021 rocketeer course called to a team. The Colorado indigenous finished from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs with an undergraduate's level in Math as well as a slight in Russian, where she belonged to the institute's university volleyball team. She later got an owner's in Computational and also Applied Mathematics coming from Rice College in Houston. Ayers functioned as a teacher captain as well as mission commander in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading global and also multiservice objectives worldwide. She possesses greater than 1,400 total flight hours, including much more than 200 in fight.With 113 times in space, this mission likewise is going to denote Onishi's second journey to the spaceport station.

The place is actually a critical testbed for NASA to comprehend and also conquer the challenges of long-duration spaceflight as well as to grow office opportunities in low The planet orbit. As office companies concentrate on delivering individual area transport services as well as destinations as component of a strong reduced Earth track economic climate, NASA's Artemis project is underway at the Moon, where the agency is planning for future human expedition of Mars.Discover even more information on NASA's Business Staff 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.
