Jerry Ross
Jerry Lynn Ross (January 20, 1948, Crown Point, Indiana) is a United States Air Force officer and a former NASA astronaut. He is a veteran of seven Space Shuttle missions, making him the record holder for most spaceflights (a record he shares with Franklin Chang-Diaz). Ross was selected as an astronaut in May 1980. Among personal milestones, he became the first human to be launched into space seven times, and had held United States records for spacewalks (nine) and spacewalking time (58 hours and 18 minutes) until he was surpassed by the current record holder. Speculation also exists that Ross performed an additional EVA on the classified STS-27 mission in support of the Lacrosse 1 deployment.
