Dr. Thomas Jones
A
distinguished graduate of the USAF Academy, Dr. Jones served on active duty as
an Air Force officer for 6 years. After
pilot training he flew strategic bombers at Carswell Air Force Base, Texas. As pilot and aircraft commander of a B-52D
Stratofortress, he led a combat crew of six, accumulating over 2,000 hours of
jet experience before resigning as a captain in 1983.
From 1983 to 1990, Dr. Jones worked as program manager at CIA’s Office of Development and Engineering; as a senior scientist at Science Applications International Corporation; and then was selected by NASA for astronaut training. In 1994 he flew as mission specialist on successive flights of space shuttle Endeavor. First, he ran science operations on the “night shift” during STS-59, the first flight of the Space Radar Laboratory (SRL-1). Then, in October of 1994, he was the payload commander on the SRL-2 mission, STS-68. He next flew in late 1996 on Columbia. Mission STS-80 successfully deployed and retrieved 2 science satellites, ORFEUS/SPAS and the Wake Shield Facility. While helping set a Shuttle endurance record of nearly 18 days in orbit, Dr. Jones used Columbia’s robot arm to release the Wake Shield satellite and later grapple it from orbit. Mission STS-98 (Atlantis) delivered the U.S. Destiny Laboratory Module to the space station. Dr. Jones helped install the Lab in a series of 3 space walks totaling over 19 EVA hours. A veteran of 4 space flights, Dr. Jones has logged over 52 days in space.
