U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 Joseph “Ben” Bailey was officially announced as a member of NASA’s newest astronaut candidate class during a ceremony at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, on Sept. 22. Bailey, a decorated aviator and test pilot with more than 11 years of service, was one of only 10 people selected from a pool of over 8,000 highly qualified civilian and military applicants – a testament to his qualifications and the Army’s commitment to developing skilled and educated personnel. His background is rooted in the testing and operation of complex aviation systems aboard UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47F Chinook helicopters, and a deep understanding of aerospace engineering principles.
