NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is now poised to be the first Black woman to be a crew member of the International Space Station.
“NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is now poised to be the first Black woman to be a crew member of the International Space Station (ISS).
On Tuesday, August 25, Epps was assigned to the NASA Boeing Starliner-1. The Black American aerospace engineer and astronaut will join the space administration's first operational crewed flight for Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, in a mission to the ISS.
Epps's current assignment marks a big leap for inclusivity. There have been some Black Americans who have traveled to and from space, with a former fighter pilot and astronaut Guion Bluford being the first as a crew member of the 1983 Challenger. However, there has been no Black American assigned to live and work in space for more extended periods. The International Space Station has already seen 240 individuals across 395 spaceflights, since 2000.
Jeanette Epps will be joining NASA astronauts, Sunita Williams and Josh Cassada. Williams formerly held the record for doing the most spacewalks by a woman, with seven walks, as well as the most time in spacewalk for a woman with 50 hours and 40 minutes.”
