Come see Astronaut Jean-François Clervoy on Thursday, April 28th from 11:05AM-12:20PM in the Lecraw Auditorium, Room 100, College of Management. 

Clervoy has received three NASA Space Flight Medals, two NASA Exceptional Service Medals and other special honors. His space flight experience includes STS-84 (May 15-24, 1997), NASA's sixth Shuttle mission to rendezvous and dock with the Russian Space Station Mir. Assigned as payload commander, Clervoy's primary tasks were the management of more than 20 experiments, the operation of the docking system and the double module SPACEHAB, and the transfer of 4 tons of equipment between Atlantis and Mir.  Aboard STS-103 (December 19 - 27, 1999), whose primary objectives was the repair of the Hubble space telescope, which was put to sleep after successive failures of its gyroscopes, necessary to meet the telescope's very precise pointing requirements, Clervoy was the flight engineer for ascent, space rendezvous and entry. He used the robotic arm to capture and deploy the telescope, and to maneuver his crew mates during each of their three spacewalks lasting each more than eight hours. Clervoy holds the rank of Ingenieur-General de l'Armement in the French Air Force
