She was responsible for the 50-foot remote manipulator arm used to maneuver payloads in and out of the shuttle\u2019s cargo bay.<\/p><p>In our spacesuit collection, see a pair of in-flight coveralls similar to ones worn by Ride to commemorate her historic contribution to space exploration.<\/p><p>Like most astronauts, these coveralls are very versatile. With a variety of pockets useful for storing necessary flight items such as tools, these coveralls were practical in the weightlessness of microgravity.<\/p><p>Ride\u2019s first spaceflight was on space shuttle Challenger in 1983. The reusable design of the Space Shuttle enabled NASA to promote an egalitarian approach to its astronaut selection. No longer was it required for an astronaut to be a pilot or military-trained. Qualified scientists, engineers, teachers, and dreamers had the same opportunity to soar into the sky like Ride.<\/p><p>Following her time as an astronaut, Dr. Ride pursued her long-time passion of motivating girls and young women to seek science, math, engineering and technology (STEM) careers. She continued to advocate for science education and published many children\u2019s books about science.<\/p><p>With a doctorate from Stanford University, Ride was a respected scientist and lover of Shakespeare, and an accomplished athlete. Every young girl who walks through Space Center Houston can see Ride\u2019s shuttle apparel and know they, too, can one day ride among the stars.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b8d2bc\" data-id=\"6b8d2bc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c94fc6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c94fc6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ride-suit-web.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-59521\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ride-suit-web.jpeg 771w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ride-suit-web-231x300.jpeg 231w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ride-suit-web-768x996.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-15190ec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"15190ec\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb28ce4\" data-id=\"eb28ce4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-955134d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"955134d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1313665 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1313665\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-67d4ede\" data-id=\"67d4ede\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f6b1bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f6b1bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Deke Slayton's ASTP Pressure Suit<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5903936 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5903936\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An accomplished Air Force Major and B-52 pilot, Donald \u201cDeke\u201d Slayton was slated to be the fourth man to go into space as part of NASA\u2019s Mercury program.<\/p><p>Just weeks before his mission, an irregular heartbeat grounded Slayton.<\/p><p>He took on other NASA roles such as Coordinator of Astronaut Activities and Director of Flight Crew Operations.
