Biography
Nicole Stott is a retired NASA astronaut. Over the course of her 27-year career with NASA, she flew two spaceflight missions and spent 104 days living and working in space on both the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station (ISS). Stott’s many accomplishments include performing a seven-hour spacewalk and being the first person to guide the space station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm for the first track and capture of a visiting cargo vehicle. Stott was the last crew member to fly to and from their ISS mission on a Space Shuttle and she was a member of the crew of the final flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery, STS-133. Stott is also a NASA Aquanaut and holds the Women’s World Record for saturation diving following her 18-day mission with the NEEMO9 crew on the Aquarius undersea habitat. She is now a full-time artist and SciArt education advocate who believes that sharing the perspective she was blessed to experience through spaceflight has the power to increase our appreciation of and obligation to care for our home planet and each other.
