Mamoru Mohri, born January 29, 1948 in Japan, is a veteran of two space shuttle missions. He was selected as astronaut by the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) which is now the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
His first flight was on board Endeavour (STS-47) as mission specialist in September 1992. It was a joint venture between NASA and NASDA, using a Spacelab module to conduct life and material sciences experiments.
Mohri's second and final flight was aboard Endeavour (STS-99) in February 2000 as mission specialist again. The Smithsonian Networks aired a documentary Oasis Earth in 2007, which featured Mohri shooting video of the moon and Mount Fuji.
