Williams was born in Euclid, Ohio , and attended Needham High School in Needham, Massachusetts , graduating in 1983. She went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical science from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1987, and a Master of Science degree in Engineering Management from Florida Institute of Technology programe tv digi in 1995. [1]
Williams programe tv digi received her commission as an ensign in the US Navy from the US Naval Academy in May of 1987. She was designated a Naval Aviator in 1989, and graduated from the Naval Test Pilot School in 1993. [1]
Selected by NASA in June 1998, Williams began her training in August 1998. [1] Her Astronaut programe tv digi Candidate training included orientation briefings and tours, numerous scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in Shuttle and International Space Station systems, physiological training and ground school to prepare for T-38 flight training, as well as learning water and wilderness survival techniques. Following a period of training and evaluation, Williams worked in Moscow with the Russian Space Agency on the Russian contribution to the ISS, and with the first expedition crew sent to the ISS. Following the return of Expedition programe tv digi 1 , Williams programe tv digi worked within the Robotics branch on the ISS Robotic Arm and the related Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator . She was a crewmember on the NEEMO 2 mission, living underwater in the Aquarius habitat for nine days in May 2002. [1]
Like many astronauts, Williams is a licensed amateur radio operator, having passed the technician class license exam in 2001, and was issued programe tv digi the call sign KD5PLB by the Federal Communications Commission on August 13 , 2001 . [4] She used one of the two amateur radio stations aboard the ISS when she talked with school children. [5]
Williams was launched to the International Space Station with STS-116 , aboard the shuttle Discovery , on December 10 , 2006 to join the Expedition 14 crew. In April 2007, the Russian members of the crew rotated, changing to Expedition 15 .
After launching aboard programe tv digi Discovery , Williams arranged to donate her pony tail to Locks of Love . The haircut by fellow astronaut Joan Higginbotham occurred aboard the International Space Station and the ponytail was brought back to earth with the STS-116 crew. [7]
Williams performed her first extra-vehicular activity on the eighth day of the STS-116 mission. On January 31 , February 4 , and February 9 , 2007 , she completed three spacewalks from the ISS with Michael Lopez-Alegria . During one of these walks a camera became untethered, probably due to failure of the attaching device, and floated off to space, before Williams could react. [8]
On the third spacewalk, Williams was outside the station for 6 hours 40 minutes to complete programe tv digi three space walks in nine days. She has logged 29 hours and 17 minutes in four space walks, eclipsing the record held by Kathryn C. Thornton for most spacewalk time by a woman. [1] [2] On December 18 , 2007 , during the fourth spacewalk of Expedition 16 , Peggy Whitson surpassed programe tv digi Williams, with a cumulative EVA time of 32 hours, 36 minutes. [9] [10]
In early March 2007 she received a tube of wasabi in a Progress spacecraft resupply mission in response to her request for more spicy food. Opening the tube, which was packaged at one atmospheric pressure, the gel-like paste was forced out in the lower-pressure of the ISS. In the free-fall environment, the sp
