Bio
Stott studied aeronautical engineering at Embry-Riddle and engineering management at the University of Central Florida. Before astronaut selection, she worked in shuttle processing and NASA operations roles.
She launched on STS-128, lived aboard the ISS during 20 and 21, and returned on STS-129. She later flew STS-133, Discovery's final mission.
Her station expedition is counted as one continuous STS-128 / STS-129 flight, with the expedition labels inside the flight card. Her later art and outreach work belongs in the career context, not as filler.
STS-128 launched on August 29, 2009 aboard STS-128 flight stack, with Stott serving as (launch). STS-129 launched on November 16, 2009 aboard STS-129 flight stack, with Stott serving as Mission Specialist (return). Stott's additional completed flights were STS-133. This mission context is drawn from the linked agency or institutional flight material and distinguishes flown service from training or backup assignments.
