Former astronaut Jon McBride talks to students at Zillah Middle School
last week. McBride served as a U.S. Navy fighter pilot during the
Vietnam era, and flew 64 combat missions while deployed to Southeast
Asia with fighter squadrons 11 and 103. As an astronaut, McBride was
pilot of STS 41-G, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida,
on October 5, 1984, aboard the Orbiter Challenger. This was the first
crew with seven members. During their eight-day mission, crew members
deployed the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite, conducted scientific
observations of the earth with the OSTA-3 pallet and Large Format
Camera, and demonstrated potential satellite refueling with an EVA and
associated hydrazine transfer. Mission duration was 197 hours and
concluded with a landing at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on October
13, 1984.
