NASA Astronaut Group 10
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NASA Astronaut Group 10 (nicknamed "The Maggots"[1]) was a group of 17 astronauts that were announced on May 23, 1984 and consisted of seven pilots and ten mission specialists.[2] Although selected in 1984, no member of the group would fly until 1988 (William Shepherd on STS-27) due to the Challenger disaster and the resulting grounding of the Space Shuttle fleet.
