I am a United States Air Force pilot and test pilot, and have flown over 5,000 hours in 45 different types of aircraft. I served in Operation Just Cause and Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Since becoming an astronaut, I have piloted two Space Shuttle flights and have flown over 8 million miles in space. On STS-92 with my crewmates, I used the Space Shuttle’s robotic arm to assemble key elements to the International Space Station. On STS-112, the crew completed more installation of the Space Station, taking three space walks. STS-112 was the first Shuttle mission to use a camera to view the External Tank, providing a live view of the launch to viewers and flight controllers.
