Dominic "Tony" Antonelli, born August 23, 1967 in Detroit, Michigan, is a veteran of two space shuttle flights.
His first mission was aboard Discovery (STS-119) as pilot in March 2009. During the mission, he used the ship's robotic arm to grapple the Orbiter Boom Sensor System to scan Discovery for damage from orbital debris. One of his wake-up calls was Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Antonelli's second flight was aboard Atlantis (STS-132) again as pilot in May 2010, the next to last mission of Atlantis. Its primary payload was a Russian research module to the International Space Station. His wake-up call during this mission was Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd!
