[8] Although he was classified as a Shuttle pilot until 1983, McCandless ultimately chose to work on the MMU as a mission specialist due to the prestige of the program (which ensured a flight assignment) and his lack of test pilot experience. [4] According to space historian Matthew Hersch, McCandless and Group 5 colleague Don L. Lind were "effectively treated ... as scientist-astronauts" (akin to those selected in the fourth and sixth groups) by NASA due to their substantial scientific experience, an implicit reflection of their lack of the test pilot experience highly valued by Deke Slayton and other NASA managers at the time; this would ultimately delay their progression in the flight rotation. Bruce McCandless (8. června 1937 Boston, Massachusetts, USA – 21. prosince 2017) byl americký důstojník a kosmonaut z programů Skylab a letů s raketoplány STS.

"[17], On September 30, 2010, McCandless launched a lawsuit against British singer Dido for unauthorized use of a photo of his 1984 space flight for the album art of her 2008 album Safe Trip Home, which showed McCandless “free flying” about 320 feet away from the Space Shuttle Challenger. “Free of any lifeline and propelled into the dark void by tiny jets, they became, in effect, the first human satellites, ” reported the Feb. 8 New York Times . English: Bruce McCandless II was a former naval aviator with the United States Navy and NASA astronaut. [11], He was a fellow of the American Astronautical Society and former president of the Houston Audubon Society. [3], On this five-day Discovery flight, launched on April 24, 1990, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the crew deployed the Hubble Space Telescope from their record-setting altitude of 380 miles (610 km). Bruce McCandless II est un astronaute américain né le 8 juin 1937 à Boston et mort le 21 décembre 2017[1] à Los Angeles. ), is a former American naval officer and aviator, electrical engineer, and former NASA astronaut.

En 1964, il est instructeur de vol aux instruments au sein du 43e escadron d'attaque d'Apollo Soucek Field à la Naval Air Station Oceana (en) (Virginie) puis suit un master en ingénierie électrique au sein du Corps de formation des officiers de la réserve navale à l'Université Stanford. [3], He was awarded a patent for the design of a tool tethering system that was used during Space Shuttle spacewalks. He was the first person to fly in space without being tethered to a spacecraft. He also enjoyed cross-country skiing. [3], McCandless was married to Bernice Doyle McCandless (1937–2014)[16] for 53 years, and the couple had two children: Bruce III (born August 15, 1961) and Tracy (born July 13, 1963). [2], For three months in early 1964, he was an instrument flight instructor in Attack Squadron 43 (VA-43) at Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia, and then reported to the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit at Stanford University for graduate studies in electrical engineering. McCandless made the first untethered free flight on each of the two MMUs carried on board, thereby becoming the first person to make an untethered spacewalk. Get the latest updates on NASA missions, watch NASA TV live, and learn about our quest to reveal the unknown and benefit all humankind.
