Ryzman, Garrett Erin

Garrett Reisman was born on February 10, 1968 in Morristown, New Jersey , but considers his city to be Parsipani, in the same state where he graduated from high school in 1986. In 1991, he received bachelor's degrees in economics , engineering, and applied mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania . In 1992, he received a master 's degree in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology and in 1997, ibid., A Ph. D. in the field of engineering .

His interests are flying, skiing and snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain climbing, canyoning and scuba diving. Radio amateur with the call sign KE5HAE. ^[2] Reisman is an FAA Certified Pilot Instructor. His parents, Robert and Sheila Reisman, currently reside in Palm Harbor, Florida . His sister, Laine Reisman, works as an economic consultant and currently resides outside the United States. ^[3] .

From 1996 to 1998, Reisman worked in the Technology Department at TRW in Redondo Beach, California , with spacecraft guidance, navigation, and space navigation. At this time, TRW and Reisman collaborated with NASA . Prior to joining TRW, Reisman worked at the California Institute of Technology in the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences in Pasadena, California. His studies of the multiphase mechanics of the behavior of liquids led to the proof of the presence of shock waves in unsteady cavitation volumes. For this discovery in the field of hydrodynamics , made at the California Institute of Technology, he received the Bruce Chapman Award. ^[4] .

In June 1998, he was enrolled in the NASA squad as part of the seventeenth set , a candidate for astronauts . Since August 1998, he began to study at the course of General Space Training (OKP). At the end of the course, in August 1999 he received the qualification of “flight specialist” and was appointed to the NASA Astronaut Office . He was appointed to the International Space Station (ISS) Development Division. He participated in numerous scientific and technical conferences, underwent intensive training in preparation for the flight on shuttles and the International Space Station (ISS) , physiological training, flew on T-38 Talon aircraft , and underwent a survival course in case of extreme landing in the desert .

• The first flight - STS-123 ^[5] , the shuttle Endeavor . Start on March 11, 2008 as a “flight specialist”, having arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) , became a flight engineer as part of the long-term expeditions ISS-16 and ISS-17 . Continued assembly of the International Space Station . During the flight, I performed one EVA: March 14 - lasting 7 hours 1 minute. In the course of work outside the station, the astronauts prepared the Kibo module for removing the Endeavor from the cargo compartment and installing it using the ship’s manipulator on the Harmony module, completed the first stage of assembly of the Dextr robot manipulator. The flight duration was 95 days 8 hours 47 minutes. Landing on STS-124 June 14, 2008. ^[6] .

• The second flight is STS-132 ^[7] , the Atlantis shuttle . From May 14 to May 26, 2010, as a “flight specialist”. Delivery of scientific equipment and spare parts for the ISS, including: six new batteries, spare parts for the Canadian robot manipulator Dextr. Delivery and docking of the Russian Docking and cargo module "Dawn" to the lower port of the module " Dawn ". The Dawn Module weighs 7.8 tons (17,147 pounds ) and is 7 meters (23 feet ) long . Inside the Rassvet module, Russian and American cargo for the ISS crew is packed with a total weight of about 1.4 tons (3,000 pounds). During the flight, he performed two EVAs : May 17, 2010 - lasting 7 hours 25 minutes. The first task for astronauts is to install a spare Ku band antenna on the Z1 segment. This antenna is designed to transmit video images and for high-speed transmission of experimental data to Earth. The station already has an antenna of the same class, the new antenna will be used as a spare. The second task is to install the holder with additional tools on the Dexter robot. May 21, 2010 - 6 hours 46 minutes. The main task for astronauts is to replace the last two batteries in the P6 segment. Astronauts also had to install a jumper on the ammonia line between the P4 and P5 segments and pick up a Power and Data Grapple Fixture for the robotic arm from the Atlantis cargo compartment. The flight duration was 11 days 18 hours 29 minutes ^[8] .

The total duration of extra-ship activity (ACV) for 3 exits is 21 hours and 15 minutes. The total duration of space flights is 107 days 3 hours 15 minutes.

On March 4, 2011, he left the astronaut squad and from NASA to SpaceX as a senior engineer involved in security and astronaut flight operations. ^[9] On May 31, 2018, Reisman announced that he would resign from SpaceX, but remained a “consultant,” saying he could not give up his work on space flight training at the University of Southern California . ^{[10] [11]}

• Medal "For Merits in Space Exploration" ( April 12, 2011 , Russia ) - for his great contribution to the development of international cooperation in the field of manned space exploration ^[12] .

Awarded: Medal "For Space Flight" (2008 and 2010) and many others.
