Janice Voss, five time space shuttle astronaut and the former science director for NASA’s Kepler mission, died Monday after a battle with cancer. She was 55. Chosen by NASA for the astronaut corps in January 1990, Voss’ turns as a mission specialist included the only re-flight in the shuttle program’s 30 year history. She launched with the first commercial laboratory, rendezvoused with Russia’s Mir space station and helped create the most complete topographic map of the Earth.
