Shaw was selected by NASA to be an astronaut in January 1978 where he served on loan from the Air Force.
Spaceflight missions
STS-9
Main article: STS-9

Shaw's first trip to space was as Pilot on STS-9 Columbia from November 28 to December 8, 1983.[3]

His fellow crew included Commander John W. Young, mission specialists, Owen Garriott and Robert Parker, and payload specialists, Byron Lichtenberg and Ulf Merbold. This was the largest crew to fly aboard a single spacecraft, the first international Shuttle crew and the first to carry payload specialists.

The crew conducted more than seventy multi-disciplinary scientific and technical investigations in the fields of life sciences, atmospheric physics and earth observations, astronomy and solar physics, space plasma physics, and materials processing. After ten days of Spacelab hardware verification and around-the-clock scientific operations, Columbia and its laboratory cargo (the heaviest payload to be returned to Earth in the shuttle's cargo bay) returned to land on the dry lake bed at Edwards AFB.
STS-61-B
Main article: STS-61-B

Shaw first served as Shuttle Commander on STS-61-B Atlantis.[3] The mission launched at night on November 26 and returned on December 3, 1985.

The crew included Commander Shaw; Pilot Bryan O'Connor; mission specialists Mary Cleave, Jerry Ross, and Woody Spring; as well as payload specialists Rodolfo Neri Vela (Mexico), and Charles Walker (McDonnell Douglas).

During the mission the crew deployed the communications satellites, conducted two six-hour spacewalks to demonstrate space station construction techniques with the EASE/ACCESS experiments, operated the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis (CRFES) experiment for McDonnell Douglas and a Getaway Special (GAS) container for Telesat, conducted several Mexican payload specialist experiments for the Mexican Government and tested the Orbiter Experiments Digital Autopilot (OEX DAP). This was the heaviest payload weight carried to orbit by the shuttle to date. After completing 108 orbits of the Earth in 165 hours, Shaw landed Atlantis on Runway 22 at Edwards AFB.

Brewster Shaw told the NASA oral historian for STS-61-B that he installed a padlock on the hatch control because he was "particularly concerned" that the Mexican Rodolfo Neri Vela could "flip out" during the mission.[7] Shaw noted that he did not think that Neri Vela noticed the padlock at the time, but that other members of the crew did.[7]
STS-28
Main article: STS-28

Shaw was the commander of STS-28 Columbia[3] (August 8–13, 1989). The mission included Pilot Dick Richards and three mission specialists: Jim Adamson, Dave Leestma and Mark Brown. The shuttle carried classified Department of Defense payloads and a number of secondary payloads. After 80 orbits of Earth the five-day mission concluded with a dry lake bed landing on Runway 17 at Edwards AFB.
NASA management

Shaw left Johnson Space Center in October 1989 to assume the NASA Headquarters senior executive position of Deputy Director, Space Shuttle Operations, located at the Kennedy Space Center. As operations manager, Shaw was responsible for all operational aspects of the Space Shuttle program and had Level-II authority over shuttle elements from the time the orbiters left the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF), were mated to the external tank and solid rocket boosters, transported to the launch pad, launched, recovered, and returned to the OPF. He was the final authority for launch decisions, and chaired the Mission Management Team.

Shaw moved on to serve as the deputy program manager for the shuttle. In addition to the duties he previously held, he also shared with the shuttle program manager full authority and responsibility for the conduct of the shuttle program.

He then served as Director, Space Shuttle Operations, with responsibility for the development of all shuttle elements, including the orbiter, external tank, solid rocket boosters, and shuttle main engines, the facilities required to support mission operations, and in the planning necessary to efficiently conduct shuttle operations.
