Roger Crouch, born September 12, 1940 in Jamestown, Tennessee, is a veteran of two space shuttle flights. His bio on wikipedia.com says he was "on loan" to NASA from MIT to be the Senior Scientist for the International Space Station.
His first flight was on Columbia (STS-83) in April 1997 as payload specialist. The mission was cut short because a problem with Fuel Cell #2 developed and Columbia landed just short of 4 days after it lifted off.
Crouch's second and final trip was on Columbia (STS-94) as payload specialist in July 1997. This was considered a "reflight" of the STS-83 mission, since the earlier flight was cut short.
