Bonnie J Dunbar (born March 3, 1949) is an American engineer and retired
NASA
astronaut
. She flew on five
Space Shuttle
missions between 1985 and 1998, including two dockings with the
Mir
space station. Since leaving NASA, she has worked in museums and
STEM
leadership, and as a professor of
aerospace engineering
.
Dunbar was elected a member of the
National Academy of Engineering
in 2002 for personal leadership and significant contributions to solutions to engineering design problems in human space flight and to on-orbit operations.
NASA career
Dunbar became a payload officer/
flight controller
at the
Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center
in 1978. She served as a
guidance and navigation officer/flight controller
for the
Skylab
reentry mission in 1979 and was subsequently designated project officer/payload officer for the integration of several Space Shuttle payloads.

Dunbar became a
NASA
astronaut
in August 1981. Her technical assignments included assisting in the verification of Shuttle flight software at the
Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory
(SAIL), serving as a member of the Flight Crew Equipment Control Board, participation as a member of the Astronaut Office Science Support Group, and supporting operational development of the remote manipulator system (RMS). She served as chief of the Mission Development Branch, as the Astronaut Office interface for "secondary" payloads, and as lead for the Science Support Group. In 1993, Dunbar served as Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences at NASA Headquarters in
Washington, D.C.
In February 1994, she traveled to
Star City
, Russia, where she spent 13 months training as a back-up crew member for a three-month flight on
Mir
. In March 1995, she was certified by the Russian Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center as qualified to fly on long duration
Mir
flights. From October 1995 to November 1996, she was detailed to the NASA JSC Mission Operations Directorate as Assistant Director where she was responsible for chairing the
International Space Station
Training Readiness Reviews, and facilitating Russian/American operations and training strategies.
Spaceflight experience
A veteran of five space flights, Dunbar has logged more than 1,208 hours (50 days) in space. She served as a mission specialist on
STS-61-A
in 1985,
STS-32
in 1990, and
STS-71
in 1995, and was the Payload Commander on
STS-50
in 1992, and
STS-89
in 1998.
STS-61-A
Challenger
(October 30 – November 6, 1985), was the West German D-1 Spacelab mission. It was the first to carry eight crew members, the largest to fly in space, and was also the first in which payload activities were controlled from outside the United States. More than 75 scientific experiments were completed in the areas of physiological sciences, materials science, biology, and navigation. During the flight, Dunbar was responsible for operating
Spacelab
and its subsystems and performing a variety of experiments. Her mission training included six months of experiment training in Germany, France, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. STS-61-A launched from the
Kennedy Space Center
,
Florida
, and returned to land at
Edwards Air Force Base
,
California
. Mission duration was 7 days, 44 minutes 51 seconds, traveling 2.5 million miles in 111 orbits of the
Earth
.
STS-32
Columbia
(January 9–20, 1990), launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and returned to a night landing at Edwards Air Base in California. During the flight, the crew successfully deployed the Syncom IV-F5 satellite, and retrieved the 21,400-pound Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) using the RMS. They also operated a variety of middeck experiments including the Microgravity Disturbance Experiment (MDE) using the Fluids Experiment Apparatus (FEA), Protein Crystal Growth (PCG), American Flight Echocardiograph (AFE), Latitude/Longitude Locator (L3), Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE), Characterization of Neurospora Circadian Rhythms (CNCR), and the IMAX Camera. Dunbar was principal investigator for the MDE/FEA Experiment. Additionally, numerous medical test objectives, including in-flight lower body negative pressure (LBNP), in-flight aerobic exercise and muscle performance were conducted to evaluate human adaptation to extended duration missions. Mission duration was 10 days, 21 hours, 01 minute, 38 seconds, traveling 4.5 million miles in 173 orbits of the Earth.
STS-50
Columbia
(June 25 to July 9, 1992). Dunbar was the Payload Commander on STS-50, the United States Microgravity Lab-1 mission which was dedicated to microgravity fluid physics and materials science. Over 30 experiments sponsored by over 100 investigators were housed in the Spacelab in the Shuttle's Payload Bay. A payload crew of four operated around-the-clock for 13 days performing experiments in scientific disciplines such as protein crystal growth, electronic and infrared detector crystal growth, surface tension physics, zeolite crystal growth, and human physiology. Mission duration was 13 days, 19 hours, 30 minutes and 4 seconds, traveling 5.7 million miles in 221 orbits of the Earth.
STS-71
Atlantis
(June 27 to July 7, 1995), was the first
Space Shuttle
mission to dock with the Russian Space Station Mir, and involved an exchange of crews. The
Atlantis
was modified to carry a docking system compatible with the Russian Mir Space Station. Dunbar served as MS-3 on this flight which also carried a Spacelab module in the payload bay in which the crew performed medical evaluations on the returning Mir crew. These evaluations included ascertaining the effects of weightlessness on the cardio/vascular system, the bone/muscle system, the immune system, and the cardio/pulmonary system. Mission duration was 9 days, 19 hours, 23 minutes and 8 seconds, traveling 4.1 million miles in 153 orbits of the Earth.
STS-89
Endeavour
(January 22–31, 1998), was the eighth Shuttle-Mir docking mission during which the crew transferred more than 9,000 pounds of scientific equipment, logistical hardware and water from Space Shuttle
Endeavour
to Mir. In the fifth and last exchange of a U.S. astronaut, STS-89 delivered
Andy Thomas
to Mir and returned with
David Wolf
. Mission duration was 8 days, 19 hours and 47 seconds, traveling 3.6 million miles in 138 orbits of the Earth. Dunbar was the Payload Commander, responsible for all payload activities including the conduct of 23 technology and science experiments.
