American astronaut Story Musgrave completed 6 space flights from 1983 to 1996, totaling 53 days. The picture on the left is a photo of him next to the space shuttle Columbia when he completed his last mission. The voyage lasted 17 days, 15 hours and 53 seconds from November 19 to December 7, 1996. The spacecraft orbited the earth 278 times, setting a record for the highest number of orbits, and the flight mileage exceeded 11.27 million kilometers. Basic introduction Chinese name: Story Musgrave Foreign name: Franklin Story Musgrave Nationality: American Date of birth: August 19, 1935 Introduction, life, 1967, 1989, 1996, contribution, introduction to American astronauts John Young was the first person to complete six space flights from 1965 to 1983. 6 voyages totaling 34 days. Another astronaut who has completed 6 space flights is Franklin Chang-Diaz (Costa Rica). He flew in space 6 times from 1986 to 1998, totaling 52 days. Life 1. Life of Story Musgrave: Franklin Story Musgrave (August 19, 1935 -) was a NASA astronaut. Flying missions STS-6, STS-51-F, STS-33, STS-44, STS-61 and STS-80 was born in Boston and grew up on his parents' farm in Massachusetts. At the age of 18, he served in the U.S. Navy as an aviation electrician and equipment technician. After completing his service, he entered Syracuse University in 1958 and received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and statistics. After graduating from Syracuse University, he worked as a business analyst at Kodak Company. Over the next few years, he earned an MBA in business analysis and computer programming from the University of California, Los Angeles, a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Marietta College, and, in 1964, a medical degree from Columbia University. Ph.D. After leaving Kodak, he served as a surgical intern at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, conducted postdoctoral research in the Air Force-Medical Center cooperative program, and earned an additional master's degree in physiology and biophysics. In August 1967, Musgrave was selected by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to become one of the first batch of astronauts-scientists. After complete astronaut training, he participated in the design of the space laboratory and development projects, becoming a patch pilot for the first Skylab operation. Musgrave helped design the spacesuit, life support systems, airlocks, and manned maneuverable modules used for spacewalks and other activities outside the spacecraft. 1989 From 1967 to 1989, while working at NASA, Musgrave also served as a surgeon at Denver General Hospital and as a professor of physiology and biophysics at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. He also trained pilots and paratroopers as a flight instructor, equipment instructor, glider instructor, and scheduled airline instructor, earning the U.S. Air Force Flying Badge and FAA rank. He flew 160 different types of civilian and military aircraft and made more than 500 parachute jumps, including 100 planned experimental jumps to study human aerodynamics. Among Musgrave's six outer space flights, the first was in 1983, when he participated in the maiden voyage of the "Challenger" space shuttle. During this space mission, Musgrave and Peterson got to The first spacewalk outside the space shuttle. On his second space mission, he served as a launch and reentry systems engineer and as a pilot during orbital operations. The most dramatic of Musgrave's space flights was the fifth one, when Musgrave undertook the task of repairing the Hubble Space Telescope aboard the Endeavor space shuttle. After 11 days of work, Hubble restored full functionality. The repairs required five spacewalks, three of which were performed by Musgrave. 1996 In January 1996, Musgrave completed his last space mission on the "Columbia" space shuttle. In addition to earning numerous degrees in the sciences, Musgrave also earned a Master of Arts degree, and his hobbies included poetry, chess, gardening, photography, computers, running, tides, and flying gliders in the sky. Contribution 2. Story Musgrave’s contribution: Spacewalk during the Hubble maintenance mission: American astronaut Story Musgrave. Perhaps of all the astronauts who have walked in space, Story Musgrave was the most individual. In order to successfully complete his space mission, he was willing to sleep upside down like a bat. He has a wide range of interests and holds six degrees in medicine, mathematics and literature. One of the best astronauts in history, Musgrave completed three of the five spacewalks on the first Hubble servicing mission in 1993. He likened this spacewalk to a "space ballet." In fact, the spacewalk during the Hubble maintenance mission best reflects the wonder of space action.
More than 300 different maintenance tools and giant instruments, although they are all in a gravity-free state, still have some inertia. During his final flight, Musgrave remained on the flight deck, standing up and facing the front window without wearing any seatbelt. After six space missions, Musgrave eventually left NASA. American astronaut Story Musgrave completed 6 space flights from 1983 to 1996, totaling 53 days. He is the astronaut who has made the most voyages.
