Dr. Mae Jemison was the science mission specialist on STS-47 Spacelab-J (September 12-20, 1992). STS-47 was a cooperative mission between the United States and Japan. The eight-day mission was accomplished in 127 orbits of the Earth, and included 44 Japanese and U.S. life science and materials processing experiments. Dr. Mae Jemison was a co-investigator on the bone cell research experiment flown on the mission. The Endeavour and her crew launched from and returned to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I hope this helped!
When the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off on its second mission, it carried the first African American woman into space. But Mae Jemison is more than an astronaut — she's also a physician, a Peace Corps volunteer, a teacher, and founder and president of two technology companies. ;
Mae Jemison, as the first Black woman in space, served aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on the STS-47 mission in 1992. She was responsible for conducting scientific experiments, particularly focused on biological processes in microgravity, and acted as a co-investigator on two bone cell research studies. Her contributions not only advanced scientific knowledge but also promoted diversity in STEM fields.
