Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in
December 1994, Melroy reported to the Johnson Space
Centre in March 1995.
Melroy served as pilot on two flights (STS-92 in 2000
and STS-112 in 2002), and was the mission commander
on STS-120 in 2007, making her the second woman to
command a space shuttle mission (after Eileen Collins).

Expedition 16, commanded by Peggy Whitson.
Whitson was the first female ISS commander, making
the STS-120 mission the first time that two female
mission commanders were in orbit at the same time.

STS-92 Discovery (October 11–24, 2000) was
launched from the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida
and returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base,
California.
During the 13-day flight, the seven member crew
attached the Z1 Truss and Pressurized Mating
Adapter 3 to the International Space Station using
Discovery’s robotic arm and performed four space
walks to configure these elements.
This expansion of the ISS opened the door for
future assembly missions and prepared the station
for its first resident crew.
The STS-92 mission was accomplished in 202
orbits, travelling 5.3 million miles in 12 days, 21
hours, 40 minutes and 25 seconds.
