Dr. Hoffman was Payload Commander of STS-46, the first flight of the US-Italian Tethered Satellite System. He has performed four spacewalks, including the first unplanned, contingency spacewalk in NASA\u2019s history (1985) and the initial repair\/rescue mission for the Hubble Space Telescope (1993).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2001, Dr. Hoffman joined the MIT faculty, where he teaches courses on space operations and space systems design. His primary research interests are in improving the technology of space suits and designing innovative space systems for human and robotic space exploration. He is Deputy Principal Investigator of the MOXIE experiment on NASA\u2019s Mars 2020 Perseverance mission, which for the first time has produced oxygen from extraterrestrial material, a critical step in the future of human space exploration. In 2007, Dr. Hoffman was elected to the US Astronaut Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Hoffman received a BA in Astronomy (summa cum laude) from Amherst College; a PhD in Astrophysics from Harvard University; and an MSc in Materials Science from Rice University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
