Ever since, she has offered in several parts, consisting of branch principal and spaceport station assistant to the principal of NASA's Astronaut Workplace.Ayers is a learn the U.S. Aviation Service and also the first participant of NASA's 2021 rocketeer lesson called to a workers. The Colorado indigenous earned a degree from the Air Troop School in Colorado Springs along with a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and also a minor in Russian, where she was a member of the school's varsity volleyball team. She later on got a master's in Computational as well as Applied Mathematics from Rice Educational Institution in Houston. Ayers served as a coach aviator as well as purpose commander in the T-38 ADAIR as well as F-22 Raptor, leading multinational as well as multiservice goals worldwide. She possesses greater than 1,400 complete tour hours, featuring more than 200 in combat.Along with 113 days precede, this objective likewise will denote Onishi's 2nd travel to the spaceport station. After being actually decided on by JAXA in 2009, he flew as a trip engineer for Expeditions 48 as well as 49 ended up being the 1st Japanese rocketeer to robotically capture the Cygnus space capsule.
