Donald Peterson Autographs
Donald Peterson was an American astronaut and veteran of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Born on October 22, 1933, in Winona, Mississippi, Peterson went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Mississippi College in 1955, before earning a Master of Science degree in nuclear engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology in 1962. He later became a colonel in the United States Air Force and served in the Vietnam War. Peterson was selected by NASA for astronaut training in 1969, and he went on to serve as a mission specialist on two Space Shuttle missions – STS-6 and STS-51-D.
Peterson’s first Space Shuttle mission, STS-6, took place in April 1983, and he became the first person to perform an unscheduled spacewalk during the mission. Peterson successfully repaired a faulty satellite, demonstrating the flexibility and capability of human spaceflight. In total, Peterson spent over 120 hours in space on this mission, where he also conducted a number of experiments and tests. Peterson’s second mission, STS-51-D, took place in April 1985, and his team successfully deployed two communication satellites into orbit. However, the mission was marred by the failure of Challenger’s SRB, which exploded 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members. Peterson retired from NASA in 1988 and worked in the aerospace industry before passing away in 2018.
Throughout his career, Peterson contributed significantly to human spaceflight by demonstrating the adaptability, ingenuity, and courage required for success. He will always be remembered as an inspiration to generations of aspiring astronauts and space enthusiasts. His tireless work aided in advancing the knowledge and technology necessary for sustained human presence in space. Peterson’s exemplary career and exceptional achievements will continue to inspire young people to follow their dreams and reach for the stars.
