On May 6, 2004, NASA introduced the new class during a Space

F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va. The class of 2004 will
be the first focused from the very beginning on realizing the
new Vision for Space Exploration. The
class includes pilots, mission specialists (MS) and three
new mission specialist educator (MS-E) astronauts, teachers
who will help ensure there's always a next generation primed
to explore.
