2013 NASA Astronaut Class

The occasion of two members of the 2013 class of astronaut candidates getting sworn in as NASA employees created one of the first photo opportunities on Aug. 12 for all eight members at the Johnson Space Center. Jessica Meir, left on the front row, and Christina Hammock, center, were sworn in during a brief ceremony, and then they were able to reunite with the other members of the class, all of whom will participate in a training program before becoming full-fledged astronauts. Andrew Morgan is on the front row. On the back row, from the left, are Anne McClain, Nicole Mann, Tyler (Nick) Hague, Josh Cassada and Victor Glover.
