The six-month expedition is planned to launch to the ISS in 2021 following NASA certification after a successful uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 and Crew Flight Test with astronauts.<\/p>\n While earning her doctorate, Epps was a NASA Graduate Student Researchers Project fellow, authoring several journal and conference articles on her research. After completing graduate school, she worked in a research laboratory for more than two years, co-authoring several patents, before the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruited her. She spent seven years as a CIA technical intelligence officer before her selection as a member of the 2009 astronaut class.<\/p>\n NASA assigned Williams and Cassada to the Starliner-1 mission in August 2018. The spaceflight will be the first for Cassada and third for Williams, who spent long-duration stays aboard the space station on Expeditions 14\/15 and 32\/33.<\/p>\n NASA press release What is Amateur Radio? http:\/\/www.essexham.co.uk\/what-is-amateur-radio<\/a><\/p>\n Free online amateur radio training course https:\/\/www.essexham.co.uk\/train\/foundation-online\/<\/a><\/p>\n Get The Details…<\/a><\/p>\n m5aka <\/p>\n AMSAT-UK<\/p>\n Powered by WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Astronaut and radio amateur Jeanette Epps KF5QNU has joined the Boeing CST-100 Starliner-1 crew for a mission to the International Space Station.
