Spaceflight experience: |
Joseph Kerwin was selected as
a scientist-astronaut by NASA in June 1965.
Kerwin served as science-pilot for the Skylab 2 (SL-2)
mission which launched on May 25 and terminated on June
22, 1973. With him for the initial activation and 28-day
flight qualification operations of the Skylab orbital
workshop were Charles Conrad, Jr., (spacecraft commander)
and Paul J. Weitz (pilot).
Kerwin was subsequently in charge of the on-orbit branch
of the Astronaut Office, where he coordinated astronaut
activity involving rendezvous, satellite deployment and
retrieval, and other Shuttle payload operations.
From 1982-1983, Kerwin served as the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration's senior science representative
in Australia. In this capacity, he served as liaison
between NASA's Office of Space Tracking and Data Systems
and Australia's Department of Science and Technology.
