Größe: ca. 25,5 x 20,4 cm Voss first became involved with NASA in 1973 while she was still pursuing her bachelor's degree.[1] She worked as co-op at the NASA Johnson Space Center until she graduated with her B.S. degree in 1975.[1] During her time at Johnson Space Center she worked on Computer simulation in the Engineering and Development Directorate. She later returned to Johnson Space Center in 1977, and spent one year working as a crew trainer, teaching entry guidance and navigation.[1] After completing her PhD in 1987 she began working at Orbital Sciences Corporation, where she worked on mission integration and flight operations to support for an upper stage called the Transfer Orbit Stage (TOS).[1] In the Fall of 1992, TOS launched the Mars Observer from a Titan rocket and the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite in September 1993.[1] In 1990, Voss was selected by NASA as an astronaut candidate, and became an astronaut in 1991.[1] She served as a mission specialist on missions STS-57 (1993), STS-63 (1995), STS-83 (1997), STS-94 (1997) and STS-99 (2000).[1][12] During her career as an astronaut, her technical assignments included working Spacelab/Spacehab issues for the Astronaut Office Mission Development Branch, and robotics issues for the Robotics Branch.[1] She participated in the first shuttle rendezvous with the Mir space station on STS-63, which flew around the station testing communications and in-flight maneuvers for later missions, but never actually docked.[13] As an STS-99 crew member on the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, she and her fellow crew members worked continuously in shifts to produce what was at the time the most accurate digital topographic map of the Earth.[3] Voss logged over 49 days in space, traveled 18.8 million miles in 779 Earth orbits, and all of her missions included at least one other woman.[1][14] From October 2004 to November 2007, she was the Science Director for NASA's Kepler space telescope, a Sun-orbiting satellite designed to find Earth-like extrasolar planets in nearby planetary systems. It was launched in March 2009 and operated through October 2018.[15] At the Astronaut Office Station Branch, she served as the Payloads Lead. She also worked for Orbital Sciences Corporation in flight operations support. Quelle: Wikipedia Wichtig: Aufgrund der unsicheren Versand- und Zollbedingungen versende ich aktuell nicht in die USA.
