ESA astronaut Dr. (GT), Head of the Astronaut Division of the European Astronaut Centre, Cologne, Germany. From 11-22 February 2000, Dr. Thiele participated as in the STS-99 Mission. The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was dedicated to the first, three-dimensional, digital mapping of the Earth surface on a nearly global scale. He was responsible for SRTM operations, including the deployment and retraction of the 200-foot high boom from Endeavour’s cargo bay upon which one of the flight’s radar systems was

3 mounted. Dr. Thiele was also trained to carry out a spacewalk should there have been a need to make one.

ESA astronaut Dr. Christer Fuglesang (CF), currently at NASA Johnson Space Centre in preparing for his first space flight. At the end of February 2002, Christer Fuglesang was assigned as a Mission Specialist to the STS-116 Space Shuttle mission, scheduled to visit the International Space Station (ISS) in 2006. He will be the first Swedish astronaut to fly to space. The crew of this mission, also referred to as the 12A.1 ISS assembly flight, is planned to achieve quite a number of important operations including the assembly of a new segment to the ISS truss and the exchange of one ISS expedition crewmember. Christer Fuglesang will play a major role in this mission, in particular with the performance of Extra Vehicular Activities (EVAs) to attach the new hardware to the Space Station and to change the Station's electrical power system. Dr. Fuglesang has an Hononary from Umeå University.
