Michael P. Anderson, American Astronaut

Astronaut Anderson, STS-107 payload commander, reads a checklist for the Fundamental Rodent Experiments Supporting Health (FRESH-2) Experiment in the SPACEHAB Research Double Module (RDM) aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. Michael Phillip Anderson (December 25, 1959 - February 1, 2003) was a US Air Force officer and NASA astronaut. Selected by NASA in December 1994, Anderson reported to the Johnson Space Center in March 1995. He flew on missions STS-89 and STS-107, logging over 593 hours in space. The STS-107 mission ended on February 1, 2003 when the Space Shuttle Columbia reentered the atmosphere. When heading down towards the surface of the earth with fans supporters and citizens watching from below, the spaceship imploded apart. Anderson perished instantly during the break-up and his body was discovered in a farm-field in a country-side of Texas. He was 43 years old and left behind a wife and two daughters, ages 9 and 11.
