Description:
Living and Working in Space
Don Thomas, PhD discusses his lifelong journey to become an astronaut, what it was like living and working in space, and shares some of his favorite views of planet Earth taken from space. As a mission specialist astronaut for NASA, Thomas flew on four different space shuttle missions and spent 44 days in space. During his missions he completed nearly 700 orbits of the Earth, traveling nearly 20 million miles in the process.
Thomas was born in Cleveland, Ohio and received his B.S. in physics from Case Western Reserve University. He then attended Cornell University where he received his master and doctorate degrees in materials engineering. From 1982-1987 he was a senior member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey, where he was awarded two patents for inventions related to the packaging of semiconductor devices. He then joined the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas as a materials engineer for the space shuttle program. In 1990 Dr. Thomas was selected in NASA's 13th group of astronauts and flew as a mission specialist on four space shuttle missions: STS-65, STS-70, STS-83, and STS-94. During these four missions, he performed hundreds of microgravity sciences experiments and helped deploy a large communications satellite from the space shuttle. He has spent 44 days in space and has completed 692 orbits of the Earth.
From 1999-2000 Dr. Thomas was the NASA director of operations at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia, where he coordinated the training of NASA astronauts for missions aboard the International Space Station. From 2003-2006 Dr. Thomas was the International Space Station Program Scientist and was responsible for the selection and scheduling of experiments to be performed aboard the ISS.
From 2007-2015 Dr. Thomas headed up the Hackerman Academy of Mathematics and Science at Towson University, a STEM outreach initiative that targeted elementary, middle, and high school students to encourage them to pursue careers in math, science, and engineering. Today he is a professional speaker and continues his outreach efforts inspiring students to reach for the stars. He is the 2018 recipient of the Frank G. Brewer Trophy from the National Aeronautic Association in recognition of his outstanding work in STEM education across the United States and around the world.
