Since then, she has offered in several roles, including division chief and spaceport station assistant to the main of NASA's Astronaut Office.Ayers is actually a learn the USA Flying Force as well as the initial participant of NASA's 2021 rocketeer training class called to a crew. The Colorado indigenous finished coming from the Air Troop Institute in Colorado Springs with a bachelor's degree in Math and a slight in Russian, where she was a member of the school's university beach ball group. She eventually made an owner's in Computational and also Applied Mathematics from Rice College in Houston. Ayers functioned as a teacher aviator as well as goal commander in the T-38 ADAIR and F-22 Raptor, leading international and multiservice objectives worldwide.

Designated as a test-cosmonaut in 2020, he has additional expertise in sky diving, zero-gravity training, scuba diving, as well as wild survival.For much more than 20 years, individuals have lived and also functioned constantly aboard the International Spaceport station, advancing scientific knowledge and showing brand new technologies, creating analysis innovations not possible on Earth. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to recognize and get rid of the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to broaden business possibilities in reduced Planet track. As commercial firms focus on supplying human space transportation solutions and also locations as portion of a sturdy low The planet track economic condition, NASA's Artemis project is underway at the Moon, where the agency is getting ready for potential human expedition of Mars.Discover more relevant information on NASA's Business Crew 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 Area Facility, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
