Samuel Durrance, born September 17, 1943 in Tallahassee, Florida, is a veteran of two space shuttle flights. He worked as a principal research scientists at the Johns Hopkins University over here in Baltimore.
His first flight was on Columbia (STS-35) as a payload specialist in December 1990. The mission was shortened by one day because of impending bad weather at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
His second and final was aboard Endeavour (STS-67) in March 1995 as a payload specialist. One of the objectives was to measure ultraviolet radiation from space since most UV radiation is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere and cannot be studied at the surface.
