She joined the corps in 1978 with a group that was the first to include female astronauts. On June 18, 1983 Ride made history by becoming the first U.S. female astronaut to fly in space. She was Mission Specialist on STS-7 and made headlines around the world. She would also be the first woman to fly twice in space serving as a Mission Specialist on STS 41-G.
