EXPERIENCE: Musgrave entered the United States Marine Corps in 1953 and served as an aviation electrician and instrument technician and as an aircraft crew chief while completing duty assignments in Korea, Japan, Hawaii, and aboard the carrier USS WASP in the Far East. He has flown 17,000 hours in 160 different types of civilian and military aircraft, including 7,200 in jet aircraft. He has earned FAA ratings for instructor, instrument instructor, glider instructor, and airline transport pilot, and U.S. Air Force Wings. An accomplished parachutist, he has made more than 460 free falls -- including over 100 experimental free-fall descents involved with the study of human aerodynamics. Dr. Musgrave was employed as a mathematician and operations analyst by the Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York, during 1958. He served a surgical internship at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington from 1964 to 1965, and continued there as a U.S. Air Force post-doctoral fellow (1965-1966), working in aerospace medicine and physiology, and as a National Heart Institute post-doctoral fellow, (1966-1967) teaching and doing research in cardiovascular and exercise physiology. From 1967-1989 he continued clinical and scientific training as a part-time surgeon at the Denver General Hospital and as a part-time professor of physiology and biophysics at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. He has written 25 scientific papers in the areas of aerospace medicine and physiology, temperature regulation, exercise physiology, and clinical surgery. NASA EXPERIENCE: Dr. Musgrave was selected as a scientist-astronaut by NASA in August 1967. He completed astronaut academic training and then worked on the design and development of the Skylab program. He was the backup science-pilot for the first Skylab mission, and was a capsule communicator for the second and third Skylab Missions. Dr. Musgrave participated in the design and development of all Space Shuttle extravehicular activity equipment including space suits, life support systems, airlocks, and manned maneuvering units. From 1979 to 1982, and 1983 to 1984, he was assigned as a test and verification pilot in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory at JSC. He served as a Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) for STS-31, STS-35, STS-36, STS-38, and STS-41. A veteran of four space flights, Dr. Musgrave was a mission specialist on STS-6 in 1983, Spacelab-2 in 1985, STS-33 in 1989, and STS-44 in 1991. He first served on STS-6, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on April 4, 1983, and landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on April 9, 1983. During this maiden voyage of Challenger, the crew performed the first Shuttle deployment of an IUS/TDRS satellite, and Musgrave and Don Peterson conducted the first Space Shuttle Extravehicular Activity (EVA) to test the new space suits and construction and repair devices and procedures. On Spacelab-2, the crew aboard Challenger launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on July 29, 1985, and landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on August 6, 1985. This flight was the first pallet-only Spacelab mission and the first mission to operate the Spacelab Instrument Pointing System (IPS). It carried 13 major experiments in astronomy, astrophysics, and life sciences. During this mission, Dr. Musgrave served as the systems engineer during launch and entry, and as a pilot during the orbital operations. On STS-33, he served aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, which launched at night, from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on November 22, 1989. The mission operated payloads for the Department of Defense. Following 79 orbits the mission concluded on November 27, 1989, with a landing at sunset on Runway 04 at Edwards Air Force, California. More recently, Dr. Musgrave served aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. STS-44 also launched at night on November 24, 1991. The primary mission objective was accomplished with the successful deployment of a Defense Support Program (DSP) satellite with an Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) rocket booster. In addition the crew also conducted two Military Man in Space Experiments, three radiation monitoring experiments, and numerous medical tests to support longer duration Shuttle flights. The mission was concluded in 110 orbits of the Earth with Atlantis returning to a landing on the lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on December 1, 1991. With the completion of his fourth mission, Dr. Musgrave has logged over 598 hours in space. CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: Dr. Musgrave is assigned as the payload commander on STS-61 scheduled for launch late in 1993 aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. APRIL 1992
