Stephen K. Robinson was selected as an astronaut in December 1994 and reported to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, in March 1995.
Robinson has flown on four space shuttle missions and has served as a backup crew member for the fourth crew of the International Space Station. He retired from NASA on June 30, 2012, after 17 years as an Astronaut and 36 years of NASA service. He is now Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Davis.
Shuttle Mission STS-85/Discovery (August 7 to August 19, 1997) was a 12-day mission, during which the crew deployed and retrieved the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers & Telescopes for the Atmosphere - Shuttle Palette Satellite (CRISTA-SPAS) satellite, operated the Japanese Manipulator Flight Demonstration (MFD) robot arm, studied changes in the Earth's atmosphere and tested technology destined for use on the International Space Station.
Robinson's responsibilities on STS-85 included flying both the shuttle robot arm and the experimental Japanese robot arm and serving as a contingency spacewalker. The mission was accomplished in 189 Earth orbits, traveling 4.7 million miles in 284 hours and 27 minutes.
Shuttle Mission STS-95/Discovery (October 29 to November 7, 1998) was a nine-day science mission, during which the crew supported more than 80 payloads, including deployment of the Spartan solar-observing spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test Platform and investigations on spaceflight and the aging process with crew member John Glenn.
As Payload Commander, Robinson was responsible for the accomplishment of all scientific objectives by the crew. As Prime Operator of the shuttle's robot arm, Robinson deployed and retrieved the Spartan satellite. The mission was accomplished in 134 Earth orbits, traveling 3.6 million miles in 213 hours and 44 minutes.
International Space Station Expedition 4 backup (July 1999 to December 2001.) Robinson served as backup crew member for the station Expedition 4 crew, which included cosmonaut training and certification in Star City, Russia.
Shuttle Mission STS-114/Discovery (July 26 to August 9, 2005) was the "Return to Flight" mission; the first shuttle flight in the two and-a-half years after the loss of space shuttle Columbia.
The objective of the mission was to resupply the International Space Station and evaluate new procedures for flight safety and shuttle inspection and repair techniques. Robinson served as Flight Engineer and also performed three spacewalks, totaling 20 hours and 5 minutes, including an unplanned and unprecedented repair of space shuttle Discovery's heat shield.
After a two-week, 5.8 million mile journey in space, Discovery and her crew returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Mission duration was 333 hours, 32 minutes and 48 seconds in 219 Earth orbits.
Shuttle Mission STS-130/Endeavour (February 8 to February 21, 2010) launched at night, carrying the International Space Station's final permanent modules: Tranquility (Node 3) and the seven-windowed Cupola viewing station.
Tranquility is now the life support hub of the ISS, containing exercise, water recycling and environmental control systems. Robinson served as Flight Engineer, as Spacewalk Operations Officer to direct the three spacewalks from inside Endeavour and as chief mechanic for outfitting the new Node 3.
During the two-week mission, Endeavour and her crew traveled more than 5.7 million miles and completed 217 orbits of the Earth, touching down at night at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
In total, flying on STS-85 in 1997, STS-95 in 1998, STS-114 in 2005 and STS-130 in 2010, Robinson has logged more than 1,156 hours (48 days) and 19.8 million miles in space, including more than 20 hours of spacewalking.

In 1947, on opening day at Ebbets Field, Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color line, changing a game and a country forever. Robinson's stunning career with the Brooklyn Dodgers struck a blow to America's deep-seated racial stereotypes. His awe-inspiring performances helped integrate of baseball. One of the most consistently productive and exciting players in the game, Robinson piled up statistics and became the first African American to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Robinson's success as a civil rights pioneer hinged on his actions on and off the field. He handled both praise and prejudice with poise. As an advocate for America's growing civil rights movement, Robinson promoted fundamental social reform. His personal integrity and stunning feats on the field made him a living symbol of America's democratic dream.
