Ride status:0 content: freetext: name: label:Astronaut content:Sally K. Ride label:Owner content:Sally K. Ride label:Manufacturer content:Sierra Engineering Co. notes: label:Summary content:This aviator helmet belonged to Dr. Sally K. Ride, who became the first American woman in space when she flew on the STS-7 shuttle mission in 1983. As a scientist astronaut rather than a pilot, Ride trained for flight in the backseat of a Northrop T-38 training jet, learning navigation and communication procedures. This is one of the helmets she wore on those flights. She so enjoyed the experience of flying that she took private lessons and earned her pilot license. Dr. Ride’s partner, Dr. Tam O’Shaughnessy, donated this helmet to the Museum in 2013. label:Summary content:A physicist with a Ph.D., Sally Ride joined the astronaut corps in 1978 in the first class of astronauts recruited specifically for the Space Shuttle Program. Her second and last space mission was STS-41G in 1984. Viewed as a leader in the NASA community, she served on the Rogers Commission after the Challenger accident in 1986 as well as the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) in 2003. She also led the task force that produced a visionary strategic plan in 1987, titled “NASA Leadership and America’s Future in Space,” known popularly as the "Ride Report." After she left NASA in 1987, Dr. Ride taught first at Stanford and later at the University of California, San Diego, where she also served as the director of the California Space Institute. From 2001 until her death in 2012, she was president and CEO of Sally Ride Science, a company she founded to promote science education. place: label:Country of Origin content:United States of America setName: label:See more items in content:National Air and Space Museum Collection creditLine: label:Credit Line content:Gift of Tam O'Shaughnessy dataSource: label:Data Source content:National Air and Space Museum identifier: label:Inventory Number content:A20140337001 objectType: label:Type content:PERSONAL EQUIPMENT objectRights: label:Restrictions & Rights content:Usage conditions apply physicalDescription: label:Materials content:Plastic label:Materials content:Iron Alloy label:Materials content:Copper Alloy label:Materials content:Non-magnetic Metal label:Materials content:Rubber label:Materials content:Foam label:Materials content:Adhesive label:Materials content:Nylon label:Materials content:Electronic Components label:Dimensions content:3-D (Tube): 45.7 × 2.5cm (1 ft. 6 in. × 1 in.) label:Dimensions content:3-D (Mask): 10.2 × 13.3 × 12.7cm (4 × 5 1/4 × 5 in.) indexedStructured: name: Ride, Sally K.
