Several other NASA women are in management positions outside of the Astronaut Office. It's also predicated on the definition of "active". If one means currently assigned to the Astronaut Office, one need only refer to the NASA Astronaut Biographies page. If one means on active flight status and available for flight assignment, it gets a little fuzzier. Shannon Lucid, for example, is pretty much a full-time Capcom now. |
