Judy Resnik Flight Suit
Submitted by: Space Center Houston in Houston, Texas
Judy Resnik wore this flight suit when training in the T-38 Talon. The T-38 is a two-seat, supersonic jet trainer. Astronauts fly T-38s to practice quick thinking in changing situations in the real world.
Resnik was one of the first six American women to become astronauts. Resnik flew on Shuttle Discovery’s maiden flight. Her second mission was the ill-fated STS-51L on Space Shuttle Challenger, which broke up during launch. This artifact is in the collection of Space Center Houston located in Houston, Texas.
