Scott E. Parazynski, M.D., has been an astronaut since 1992 and has logged over 262 hours in space. He first flew in 1994 on the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-3) mission, which was part of an on-going program to determine the Earth's energy balance and atmospheric change over an 11-year solar cycle. During this mission, he and his crewmates also evaluated the Interlimb Resistance Device, a free-floating exercise he developed to prevent musculoskeletal atrophy in microgravity. Following this flight he spent 5 months in Star City, Russia, training for a long-duration flight aboard the Mir space station. It was later determined that he was too tall to safely fit in a Soyuz vehicle in the event of an emergency on-board the Mir station, and he was withdrawn from Mir training. Dr. Parazynski is a graduate of Stanford University and Stanford Medical School and pursued clinical training at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, MA) and emergency medicine residency training in Denver, CO. He has numerous publications in the field of space physiology and has a particular expertise in human adaptation to stressful environments.
