#GOLDsWomensHistoryMonth

 

For womans History month I chose to Honor Stephanie Wilson

Stephanie D. Wilson (born September 27, 1966) is an engineer and a NASA astronaut. The second Black woman to go into space, and a veteran of three spaceflights since 2006, her 42 days in space are the most logged by any Black astronaut, male or female. Born in Boston, Wilson attended high school in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and earned a Bachelor of Science in engineering science from Harvard University in 1988. After working for the Martin Marietta Astronautics Group (now Lockheed Martin) for two years, she earned a Master of Science in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas in 1992. Sponsored by a NASA graduate student fellowship, her research focused on the construction and control of large, flexible space stations.

NASA selected Wilson as an astronaut in April 1996. In 2006, she flew her first space shuttle mission, a 13-day flight aboard space shuttle Discovery to make repairs to the International Space Station. In October 2007, flew on a 6.25 million mile, 15-day shuttle mission. In her latest mission, from April 5 to April 20, 2010, Wilson flew aboard Discovery to deliver more than 27,000 pounds of hardware, supplies, and experiments to the space station. From 2010 to 2012, she has served as NASA’s Space Station Integration Branch Chief and in 2017, was named head of the Mission Support Crew branch.
