When I linked back to Do ISS astronauts notice, or experience symptoms of elevated CO2 levels? Do they wear monitors regularly? in this question, I was surprised to find that I hadn't named the astronaut shown in the image. Clicking through to other links, I found that her image is unreferenced and uncredited in several places!!

If it had been Tim Peake, these UK companies might have been more mindful perhaps?

Question: Who is the unnamed astronaut in this uncredited photo used in commercial promotional material?

  • There is a clue however. In the URL of the image used in the Gas Sensing Solutions page linked above, the file name is katenasa.jpg. We don't have a separate identify-this-astronaut tag, so I've used identify-this-object. No "objectification of astronauts" intended. – uhoh Mar 26 '18 at 05:04

That would be Dr. Kathleen "Kate" Rubins.

    So it's Dr. Kathleen "Kate" Rubins Ph.D., the first person to sequence DNA in space, rather than "Kate Nasa". Thanks! I've edited both linked items to reflect the new information. – uhoh Mar 26 '18 at 10:13
