Susan Still-Kilrain, Bob Cabana and Sam Durrance
In-person autograph of Samuel T. Durrance, payload specialist, STS-35 and 67. He has logged over 615 hours in space as a member of the crew of Space Shuttle Columbia for the STS-35/Astro-1 and Space Shuttle Endeavour for the STS-67/Astro-2 missions.
This was the photo I was going to have Bob Cabana sign (riding in the car behind Durrance), but he didn't show up at the Astronaut Social, at least, not during the time I was there. (That's Susan Still-Kilrain, a shuttle pilot, in the Corvette behind the two.) 44th Space Congress, Cape Canaveral, Fla., 25 May 2016.
Under her maiden name, Still-Kilrain reported to the Johnson Space Center in March 1995. A veteran of two space flights, she has logged over 471 hours in space. She flew as pilot on STS-83 (April 4-8, 1997) and STS-94 (July 1-17, 1997).
Still-Kilrain retired from the Astronaut Office in December 2002 and from the Navy in June 2005.
Her first mission, STS-83/Columbia (April 4-8, 1997), was cut short because of problems with one of the Shuttle’s three fuel cell power generation units.
Mission duration was 95 hours and 12 minutes, traveling 1.5 million miles in 63 orbits of the Earth.
STS-94/Columbia (July 1-17, 1997) was a re-flight of the Microgravity Science Laboratory (MSL-1) Spacelab mission, and focused on materials and combustion science research in microgravity.
Mission duration was 376 hours and 45 minutes, traveling 6.3 million miles in 251 orbits of the Earth.
As pilot of STS-83, Still-Kilrain became one of just three women to pilot a space shuttle mission. The crew of STS-83 were also the only ones to fly as an intact crew again on a subsequent flight.
Still-Kilrain signed this TTM through a One Giant Leap fundraiser in late September/early October 2016.
And I completed this with Cabana. Sent out 19 November, received back 2 December 2016.
