Bio
Archambault studied aeronautical and astronautical engineering and served as an Air Force test pilot before NASA. His first flight was STS-117, where he piloted Atlantis during an ISS truss and solar-array assembly mission.
He commanded STS-119, the mission that delivered the final pair of ISS solar-array wings. That command placed him at one of the visible completion points in the station's power-system assembly.
After NASA, Archambault moved into Dream Chaser and commercial spaceplane work.
