- Dr. Rhea Seddon: Seddon is an astronaut and physician who was a mission specialist on STS-51D and STS-40 and payload commander on STS-58.
- Kathryn Sullivan, PhD: Sullivan is an astronaut, geologist, and oceanographer who became the first American woman to perform an EVA on STS-41-G, and also went to space on STS-31 and STS-45.
