Happy birthday, Space Shuttle astronaut Bryan O'Connor!


Bryan O'Connor, born September 6, 1946 in Orange, California, is a veteran of two space shuttle flights.

His first flight was as pilot on Atlantis (STS-61-B) November-December 1985.  The mission deployed three communication satellites and tested constructing structures in orbit.

His second was as Commander on Columbia (STS-40) in June 1991.  It was the first space lab mission dedicated solely to biology and the first mission to include three women astronauts.
