Jan. 27 ATHENS Ohio University’s Frontiers in Science lecture series will host retired NASA astronaut and United States Air Force Col. Eileen Collins at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
The virtual talk, “Leadership & Women in Space,” is open to all and participants can join in by visiting www.ohio.edu/frontiersinscience.
Collins made history as the first female to pilot a U.S. spacecraft with the Discovery space shuttle flight in 1995. She also became the first female commander with the 1999 Columbia shuttle flight.
NASA also tapped Collins as commander for Discovery’s historic “Return to Flight” mission in 2005, the first manned flight following the loss of the space shuttle Columbia and crew in 2003.
