Sandra Hall Magnus (born October 30, 1964) is an American engineer and a NASA astronaut. She is currently in orbit on the International Space Station. She is also a licensed amateur radio operator with the call sign KE5FYE.

Early life and education

Magnus was born and raised in Belleville, Illinois. She earned degrees in physics and electrical engineering from the University of Missouri–Rolla (now known as the Missouri University of Science and Technology) before earning a PhD in materials science and engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1996. Research for her dissertation, entitled "An Investigation of the relationship between the thermochemistry and emission behavior of thermionic cathodes based on the BaO-Sc₂O₃-WO₃ ternary system," was supported by a fellowship from the NASA Lewis Research Center

Engineering career

During the 1980s, Magnus worked on stealth aircraft design as an engineer for McDonnell Douglas. She worked on the propulsion system for the A-12 Avenger II until the project was canceled by the Navy in 1991.

NASA career

Magnus was selected as an astronaut candidate in 1996 and flew her first space mission, STS-112, in October 2002 as a mission specialist.

Expedition 18

Magnus is currently serving as Flight Engineer on board the International Space Station as part of the Expedition 18 crew until March 2009. Magnus was a Mission Specialist on STS-126 for the trip to the station, which launched on November 14, 2008. For the return trip to Earth after her stay aboard the station, Magnus will serve as a Mission Specialist on STS-119.
