Peggy Annette Whitson (born February 9, 1960) is an American
biochemistry
researcher, retired
NASA
astronaut
,and former NASA
Chief Astronaut
.
Her first space mission was in 2002, with an extended stay aboard the
International Space Station
as a member of
Expedition 5
. On her second mission, she became first female commander of the ISS with
Expedition 16
.In 2009 she became the first woman to serve as NASA's Chief Astronaut, the most senior position in the
NASA Astronaut Corps
.
[7]
In 2017, Whitson became the first female astronaut to command the
International Space Station
twice, and broke the record for the
longest single space flight by a woman
at 289 days in orbit before returning aboard
Soyuz MS-04
. This record was broken by
Christina Koch
's flight, which lasted 328 days.
Whitson holds the records for the oldest woman spacewalker and the record for total spacewalks by a woman.Whitson's cumulative EVA time is 60 hours, 21 minutes, which places her in 5th place for
total EVA time
. At age 57 on her final flight, she was also the oldest female astronaut ever in space at that time, and remains the oldest woman to fly in Earth orbit.
Whitson returned to Earth on September 3, 2017 having accrued a total of 665 days in space over the course of her career, making her NASA's most experienced astronaut to date. This total was more time in space than any other American and any other woman worldwide. On June 15, 2018, Whitson announced her retirement from the agency, effective on the same day. She later became a consultant for

Space flight experience
STS-73 in
Space Shuttle
Columbia
(October 20 to November 5, 1995) was the second United States Microgravity Laboratory mission. The mission focused on
materials science
,
biotechnology
,
combustion
science,
fluid dynamics
, and numerous scientific experiments housed in the pressurized
Spacelab
module. In completing his first space flight, Rominger orbited the Earth 256 times, traveled over 6 million miles, and logged a total of 15 days, 21 hours, and 52 minutes in space.
STS-80, also in
Columbia
(November 19 to December 7, 1996) was a 17-day mission during which the crew deployed and retrieved the Wake Shield Facility (WSF) and the Orbiting Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer (ORFEUS) satellites. The free-flying WSF created a super vacuum in its wake and grew thin film wafers for use in
semiconductors
and other high-tech electrical components. The ORFEUS instruments, mounted on the reusable
Shuttle Pallet Satellite
, studied the origin and makeup of stars. In completing his second space flight, Rominger orbited the Earth a record 278 times, traveled over 7 million miles and logged 17 days, 15 hours and 53 minutes in space.
STS-85 in
Space Shuttle
Discovery
(August 7–19, 1997) was a 12-day mission during which the crew deployed and retrieved the
CRISTA-SPAS
satellite, operated the Japanese Manipulator Flight Demonstration (MFD) robotic arm, studied changes in the
Earth's atmosphere
and tested technology destined for use on the future
International Space Station
. The mission was accomplished in 189 Earth orbits, traveling 4.7 million miles in 11 days, 20 hours and 27 minutes.
STS-96, also in
Discovery
, (May 27 to June 6, 1999) was a 10-day mission during which the crew delivered 4 tons of logistics and supplies to the International Space Station in preparation for the arrival of the first crew to live on the station. The mission included the first docking of a Space Shuttle to the International Space Station and was accomplished in 153 Earth orbits, traveling 4 million miles in 9 days, 19 hours and 13 minutes.
[3]
STS-100, in
Space Shuttle
Endeavour
(April 19 to May 1, 2001) was a 12-day mission during which the crew installed the Canadian-built Robotic Arm and the Rafaello Logistics Module to the International Space Station.
Endeavour
was docked 8-days on the most complex robotics flight in the history of the Space Shuttle program and was made up of a very diverse international crew, representing the United States, Russia, Canada and Italy. The mission was completed in 187 Earth orbits, traveling 4.9 million miles in 11 days, 21 hours and 30 minutes.
