Amanda Stubblefield

A former trainee and Crew Trainer (1995 - 2000), Amanda Stubblefield went from training students at Space Camp® and Aviation Challenge® to training astronauts at NASA's Johnson Space Center. It was the 1983 launch of Sally Ride on Challenger that sparked her dreams and sealed her fate. Stubblefield has realized those dreams, working with nearly all crew members flying to ISS. In her time at NASA, she has trained crews and flight controllers to operate science experiments, life support systems and thermal equipment, and respond to spacecraft emergencies such as fires and cabin depressurization. She has also served as a certified ETHOS (Environmental and THermal Operating Systems) flight controller in ISS mission control. Most recently, Amanda has become an instructor and certified OSO (Operations Support Officer) flight controller responsible for helping ISS crews execute routine preventative maintenance as well as perform troubleshooting and repairs for unexpected failures on systems ranging from the toilet, to life support equipment, to the onboard computers and everything in between.
