STEM Activist: Why Girls Should Consider A Career in STEM

An astronaut is a person trained to travel and work in space. Astronauts will continue to work aboard the International Space Station (ISS), and will also fly NASA’s new Orion deep space exploration vehicle. Orion will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities.
