Michael Coats, born January 16, 1946 in Sacramento, California, is a veteran of three space shuttle flights.
His first mission was aboard Discovery (STS-41-B) as pilot in August-September 1984. The mission involved deploying three commercial communications satellites.
His second flight was again aboard Discovery (STS-29) as commander in March 1989. The primary mission was the third and final component of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS).
His third and final flight was aboard, of course, Discovery (STS-38) as commander in April-May 1991. This payload was for the Department of Defense, so not much info about this flight.
