Tony Antonelli

A veteran space shuttle pilot, Antonelli flew on two missions — STS-119 and STS-132 — helping deliver and assemble critical components of the International Space Station. Over the course of his missions, he logged more than 24 days in space, contributing to the expansion and continued success of humanity’s orbiting laboratory.

Chris Matty is an aerospace engineer and physicist with over 20 years of experience at the NASA Johnson Space Center. Throughout his career, he has supported Space Shuttle, International Space Station, and Artemis programs, contributing to mission planning, systems development, and human spaceflight operations.
