Doug Hurley is a former military test pilot, a civil engineer, a retired U.S. Marine colonel and an astronaut.  During his trailblazing 21-year career at NASA, Hurley flew two space shuttle missions (STS-127 and STS-135).  He travelled back to space for the third time as the commander of the SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-2, the first crewed spaceflight from American soil since 2011.  Hurley helped NASA and the United States open a new era of human space travel and make spaceflight history by working with a private company to launch astronauts into orbit.

Hurley spent a total of 93 days in space and contributed 100s of hours to supporting scientific discovery on the International Space Station.
