While attending an educator's
workshop and VIP tour of Kennedy Space Center, three St. Elmo
teachers had the opportunity to meet Dr. Story Musgrave. Dr.
Musgrave was selected as a scientist-astronaut by NASA in August
1967. He completed astronaut academic training and then worked
on the design and development of the Skylab Program. He was the
backup science-pilot for the first Skylab mission, and was a
CAPCOM for the second and third Skylab missions. Dr. Musgrave
participated in the design and development of all Space Shuttle
extravehicular activity equipment including spacesuits, life
support systems, airlocks, and manned maneuvering units. From
1979 to 1982, and 1983 to 1984, he was assigned as a test and
verification pilot in the Shuttle Avionics Integration
Laboratory at Johnson Space Center. He served as a spacecraft
communicator (CAPCOM) for STS-31, STS-35, STS-36, STS-38 and
STS-41, and lead CAPCOM for a number of subsequent flights. He
was a mission specialist on STS-6 in 1983, STS-51F/Spacelab-2 in
1985, STS-33 in 1989 and STS-44 in 1991, was the payload
commander on STS-61 in 1993, and a mission specialist on STS-80
in 1996. A veteran of six space flights, Dr. Musgrave has spent
a total of 1,281 hours 59 minutes, 22 seconds in space. Dr.
Musgrave left NASA in August 1997 to pursue private interests.
