The Colorado native graduated from the Sky Troop Academy in Colorado Springs along with an undergraduate's level in Math as well as a small in Russian, where she belonged to the institute's university volleyball crew. She later earned an owner's in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University in Houston. Ayers functioned as a coach fly and objective commander in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading international and multiservice objectives worldwide. She possesses much more than 1,400 overall tour hrs, including greater than 200 in fight.With 113 days in space, this purpose additionally will certainly denote Onishi's second vacation to the space station.

Assigned as a test-cosmonaut in 2020, he has extra knowledge in skydiving, zero-gravity training, scuba diving, and wild survival.For greater than twenty years, individuals have actually lived and also functioned constantly aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge as well as displaying brand new technologies, making research study breakthroughs certainly not feasible on Earth. The place is actually an essential testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight and also to grow commercial options in reduced The planet orbit. As office firms concentrate on offering human room transportation solutions and also destinations as part of a durable low Earth orbit economic condition, NASA's Artemis campaign is underway at the Moon, where the company is planning for potential human exploration of Mars.Locate extra relevant information on NASA's Commercial Team 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 Area Center, Houston281-910-4989raegan.r.scharfetter@nasa.gov.
