Shannon LucidBorn 14 Jan 1943.American biochemist and astronaut who stayed aboard the Russian space station Mir in 1996 for a record-breaking 188 days. In 1976, when NASA announced that it would begin accepting women into the space program, Lucid immediately applied. Her first shuttle flight was in Jun 1985 on the Discovery, followed by the Atlantis in Oct 1989 and Aug 1991, where she conducted a variety of biomedical experiments. In Oct 1993, she became the first woman to travel into space on four separate occasions on the Columbia, setting a record for the most total flight time accumulated by a female astronaut on the shuttle (838 hours, 54 minutes). On Mir, she performed experiments, mostly on the effects of longterm space flight on the human body. |
