Ever since, she has actually offered in numerous duties, including division principal and spaceport station assistant to the chief of NASA's Rocketeer Workplace.Ayers is actually a major in the U.S. Flying Force as well as the 1st participant of NASA's 2021 rocketeer class named to a workers. The Colorado native gotten a degree from the Air Troop Institute in Colorado Springs along with an undergraduate's level in Math and also a minor in Russian, where she was a member of the school's university beach ball staff. She eventually made an owner's in Computational and also Applied Math from Rice Educational Institution in Houston. Ayers acted as a trainer fly and purpose commander in the T-38 ADAIR and also F-22 Raptor, leading multinational and multiservice objectives worldwide. She possesses more than 1,400 total flight hours, featuring much more than 200 in combat.Along with 113 days precede, this purpose likewise is going to note Onishi's second excursion to the spaceport station.

The place is a critical testbed for NASA to comprehend as well as overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to increase business options in low Earth orbit. As business firms concentrate on giving individual space transport solutions and also places as component of a robust low Planet track economic situation, NASA's Artemis project is underway at the Moon, where the organization is actually organizing future human expedition of Mars.Discover a lot more information on NASA's Industrial Staff System at:.https://www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.- side-.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.
