Astronaut/Alumna Nicole Stott Ready for Mission to International Space Station
Astronaut Nicole Stott, an Embry-Riddle College of Engineering alumna, will take her first trip off planet Earth on Space Shuttle Discovery's upcoming mission to the International Space Station. The STS-128 launch is currently scheduled for 12:22 a.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 28, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As a flight engineer, she'll live and work aboard the Space Station for three months, catching a ride home in November on Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Stott received a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach campus in 1987 and is also an instrument-rated private pilot. She is one of six Embry-Riddle alumni who are current or former astronauts.
