26. Space Shuttle Commander Eileen Collins - NASA Astronaut, Pilot, And Chandra Miss Features short biography, interview and mission brief from the first woman to command a NASA mission (Chandra). http://www.johnshepler.com/articles/collins.html

A Space and Science Article Sponsored by LongDistanceRateFinder.com Name a Star After Someone! Space Shuttle Commander Eileen Collins NASA Astronaut, Pilot, and Chandra Mission Commander "And we have a liftoff, reaching new heights for women and astronomy." The summer night's sky was aglow with fire, and the crackling roar of the Space Shuttle Columbia nearly drowned out the historic announcement by NASA launch commentator Lisa Malone. In command of Columbia as it departed the Kennedy Space Center was United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Eileen Marie Collins, America's first female space shuttle pilot and now shuttle commander. She is responsible for the safety of the crew and accomplishment of the STS-93 mission, which is historic in many ways. Eileen Collins has been entrusted with the AXAF, Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility Imaging System. It is the heaviest shuttle payload yet at over five tons. The AXAF, now called the Chandra X-ray Observatory, rivals the Hubble Space Telescope in size and importance. In its orbit that swings almost 40,000 miles from Earth, Chandra will allow us to see far deeper into the universe. Astronomers will have at least five years of dazzling images and data from exotic celestial objects such as exploding stars, quasars and matter being sucked into and destroyed by black holes. Watching Columbia blast off and race through the night sky at 8,000 miles per hour was 88 year old Lalitha Chandrasekhar. Her late husband, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was the Indian-American astrophysicist known as Chandra, for whom the X-ray telescope is named. He won the Nobel Prize in 1983 for his theoretical studies on the physics of stars and is regarded as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He died in 1995. His name, ironically, means "moon" or "luminous" in Sanskrit.

"Eileen, we gave it our best shot," launch director Ralph Roe called to Collins after announcing the scrub.

" That was by far the biggest break of my life, getting into pilot training." This is the point where Eileen set her goals on staying competitive for becoming an astronaut.
