On this day in 1992, Dr. Mae Jemison made history as the first African American female to venture into space. Selected for the astronaut program in June 1987, Jemison served as the science mission specialist on STS-47 Spacelab-J, a collaborative mission between the U.S. and Japan. The mission comprised 44 life science and materials processing experiments, including a bone cell research experiment in which Jemison was a co-investigator. During her inaugural space flight, Jemison accumulated 190 hours, 30 minutes, and 23 seconds in space. Photo & Content Credit: NASA
