Extractions: " When I was a child, I dreamed about space - I admired pilots, astronauts, and I've admired explorers of all kinds. It was only a dream that I would someday be one of them. It is my hope that all children, boys and girls, will see this mission and be inspired to reach for their dreams, because dreams do come true!" - Eileen Collins, astronaut Eileen Collins was born in Elmira on November 19, 1956. As the space age unfolded in the '60s, Eileen's excitement over flying grew. She watched Star Trek and Lost in Space on television and read stories about famous women aviators. Inspired by stories of Amelia Earhart, and women Air Force service pilots in World War II, Collins saved enough money to earn her pilot's license in 1977.

Extractions: Return to History Page Selected by NASA in January 1990, Eileen became an astronaut in July of the next year. Initially assigned to Orbiter engineering support, she has also served on the astronaut support team responsible for Orbiter prelaunch checkout, final launch configuration, crew ingress/egress, landing and recovery. She has worked in Mission Control as a spacecraft communicator for numerous shuttle missions and served as the Astronaut Office Spacecraft Systems Branch Chief. Eileen is a veteran of two space flights, herself. STS-63, which took place February 2-11, 1995, was the first flight of the new joint Russian-American Space Program. Mission highlights included a rendezvous with the Russian Space Station Mir, operation of Spacehab, the deployment and retrieval of an astronomy satellite and a space walk. Eileen¹s first mission was accomplished in 129 orbits, traveling over 2.9 million miles in 198 hours and 29 minutes. It was on this mission that Eileen became the first woman to pilot a Space Shuttle. Her second mission, STS-84 took place May 15-24, 1997. This was NASA¹s sixth Shuttle mission to rendezvous and dock with the Russian Space Station Mir. During the flight, the crew conducted a number of experiments and transferred nearly four tons of supplies and equipment between Atlantis and the Mir station. At the end of this mission, Eileen had logged a total of over 419 hours in space.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) Discovery roared into orbit Tuesday in NASA's first shuttle flight since the 2003 Columbia disaster, and afterward engineers began evaluating pictures of falling debris to determine the chances of another mishap. A new battery of cameras trained on the shuttle during launch showed a small piece of debris falling from the underside of the orbiter, which NASA officials say could have come from a tile near a door covering the nose landing gear. But NASA's flight operations manager, John Shannon, said it was too soon to determine the source of the debris, how large any possible defect might be and whether it poses any safety threat for the spacecraft.

Extractions: An astronaut's work, it seems, is never done. Eileen Collins retired in May, but by October she still hadn't found time to finish cleaning out her office. "I'm still answering mail from 2005," she said. "I haven't wound down yet. I've been extremely busy." Of course, that statement could also apply to the past three decades of Collins' life. In 1976, when Collins was a college sophomore, the Air Force announced it would begin training women as pilots. NASA followed suit in 1978 and began accepting women into the shuttle program - just about the time Collins was deciding what to do with her life. "Those were important years for me," she said. "When the astronaut program opened up to women, that was a huge motivation for me to get my career on the course where I could become a shuttle astronaut someday. And because I was so interested in flying, I wanted to be a shuttle pilot." Not that it necessarily would have stopped her if the agencies hadn't started accepting women. Collins started planning to become an astronaut long before she would technically have been allowed to. In fourth grade she read a Junior Scholastic Magazine article on the pros and cons of spending money on the space program. Even at the tender age of 8, she couldn't imagine how anyone could think there were cons.

At test pilot school they called her "Mom," because the boys liked her. The other part turns out to be harder to get at. The part about how a blue-collar kid from public housing in Elmira, N.Y., climbed to the top of one of the world's most exclusive professions so smoothly and inevitably that it seemed almost a birthright. But the other part is there. It's in the windblown, jut-jawed portrait that celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz made of her in 1999. And in the shrug she gave the Associated Press after a fuel leak almost forced her to make an emergency shuttle landing in Africa: "I knew we had an out somewhere." And it's in the headline that the magazine Irish America used for its "Irish of the Century" feature: "Eileen Collins: Rocket Woman."

Extractions: Al Weisel Miss Universe: Astronaut Eileen Collins By Al Weisel Us Magazine, April 1999, p. 27 Collins had to bust through a few glass ceilings on her way into space. But she won't be bearing any grudges when she leads a crew of three men and one woman on a five day mission to launch the Chandra X-ray telescope which will allow scientists the most advanced methods of studying X-rays given off by celestial bodies. In fact, Collins believes Glenn was accurate about the social order. "But whether or not our social order was right is very questionable," she says. "I don't t think it was right." Growing up, Collins played with chemistry and dreamed of becoming a teacher. Her parents, James, a postal worker, and Rose Marie, a clerical worker at the maximum security Elmira Correctional Facility split up when she was 9. It hit me like a ton of bricks," she says, "but children are very adaptable." Her father briefly lost his job around that time and the family went on food stamps. "The [food stamps] program did what it was designed to do, which is help people get through hard times in their life," she says. Immediately after taking her first flight on a commercial airliner, at 19, Collins knew she had found her calling. "I had been reading about pilots, and it fascinated me," she says. "The first time women were accepted as pilots in the military was in 1974, just as I was reading about it. The timing was perfect." Becoming an astronaut wasn't a "realistic dream," however, until she graduated from college in 1978, the year NASA selected its first women shuttle astronauts

Extractions: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Eileen Collins, the unflappable astronaut who charted a groundbreaking career as the first woman to pilot and command a space shuttle, is leaving the U.S. space agency. Having flown in space four times, Collins said, âWe have many astronauts in this office who havenât even flown one flight. Itâs time for me to step aside and give the young guys a chance to fly.â The 49-year-old astronaut said Monday that she will leave the U.S. space agency in the next week or two and plans to devote several months to her family. Collins had considered leaving the space agency last year after she fearlessly led NASAâs harrowing first flight in space since the Columbia disaster in 2003. But the death of her mother last December, followed by her fatherâs sudden death in a traffic accident earlier this year, forced her to push back her departure date so she could finish tying up loose ends from last summerâs mission.

Women's History Month (March 2007) - Eileen Collins
On February 4, 1995, at 1222 a.m. in Cape Canaveral, Florida, thousands of people held their breath as Lieutenant Colonel eileen collins launched the U.S.
http://tanzania.usembassy.gov/whm-eileencollins.html

Extractions: Flames burst from the shuttle's engines as smoke enveloped the launch pad. During the shuttle's violent ascent, acceleration is so forceful that the astronauts are pinned against their seats and breathe with difficulty as G-forces pound against their chests. The shuttle approaches an escape velocity of 3,000 miles per hour and later accelerates to 17,500 miles per hour. From her position inside the craft, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Eileen Collins handled the takeoff with extraordinary confidence. Perhaps piloting the shuttle seemed to be all in a day's work for Collins because she had rehearsed the takeoff hundreds of times in a simulator. She spent the previous month practicing takeoffs and landings for up to 14 hours per day and, during the previous six months, spent an average of three hours per day in the simulator. But the morning of February 4 was the real thing, and there was no room for error. Fear and excitement undoubtedly swelled in Collins as the price of failure was contemplated.

Extractions: Girl Power! It can take you to the moon and back. Just ask NASA Astronaut, Lt. Col. Eileen Collins. She is making worldwide headlines because she will be the first woman commander of an American spaceship. The launch has been rescheduled to July 22, 1999. This is not the first time she has made headlines. In February of 1995, Lt. Col. Collins made worldwide headlines by being the first woman ever to pilot an American spaceship. She guided the space shuttle, Discovery, within 37 feet of the Russian Space Station Mir and made more than 129 orbits around the globe a more than 2.9 million mile trip in 198 hours and 29 minutes! "Teach me how to fly" Lt. Col. Eileen Marie Collins was born November 19, 1956 in Elmira, New York. She grew up in a family that wanted her to go to college, but didn't have the money to send her. As a child, her parents would take her to the airport to watch the planes because she had always dreamed of flying. After high school, she attended community college and then got a 2 year scholarship to Syracuse University. While at Syracuse, she entered the Air Force ROTC because the Air Force said they would "teach me how to fly." "You will have bumps on the road along the way. Take every disappointment in your career as an opportunity for something new and better in the future."
