Doug Hurley joined Propulsion Systems in August 2021 as the senior director of Business Development.Doug was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2000, and piloted space shuttle mission STS-127 in July 2009 as well as STS-135 in July 2011, the final flight of the space shuttle program. He launched into space for the third time as spacecraft commander of the first crewed spaceflight of the SpaceX Crew Dragon, the Demo-2 mission, the first crewed spaceflight from American soil since STS-135.Also while with NASA, Doug was assigned technical duties in the Astronaut Office, which included Kennedy Operations Support as a “Cape Crusader,” where he was the lead Astronaut Support Personnel for shuttle missions STS‐107 and STS‐121. He worked Shuttle Landing and Rollout, served on the Columbia Reconstruction Team at Kennedy Space Center and served in the Exploration branch in support of the selection of the Orion Multi‐Purpose Crew Vehicle. He also served as the NASA Director of Operations at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia.Before joining NASA, Doug was a fighter pilot and test pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has spent a total of 93 days in space. He was also the first Marine to fly the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet.Doug
Michelle Lucas spent 10+ years working at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. First as part of the International Space Station (ISS) Payload Safety Review Panel (PSRP) and then in the Mission Operations Directorate as a Flight Controller in ISS Mission Control and as an Astronaut Instructor in the ISS Daily Operations Group. Additionally, she worked with each of the International Partners (European Space Agency – ESA, Japanese Space Agency – JAXA, and the Russian Space Agency) in the field of Daily Operations, Flight Controller, and Instructor Training. Michelle was part of the Core NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) team for 9 missions where astronauts would carry out analog space missions underwater in the Aquarius habitat. Along the way, Michelle found she has a passion for launching the next generation’s dreams and ambitions. Her passion for inspiring students led to extensive work with other organizations in STEM outreach so she founded the non-profit Higher Orbits to use space to excite and inspire students about STEM, Leadership, Teamwork, and Communication. Michelle is proud to be a Space Camp Alum, AIAA Associate Fellow, and member of the Space Camp Hall of Fame. She believes that collaboration in space and STEM is the key to the stars! Space Inspires!
