She was the first Jewish woman of any nationality in space. Dr. Resnik was a biomedical engineer and staff fellow in the Laboratory of Neurophysiology at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, from 1974 to 1977, where she performed biological research experiments concerning the physiology of visual systems. Januar 1986 bei Cape Canaveral, Florida) war eine US-amerikanische Astronautin, die bei der Challenger-Katastrophe ums Leben kam.

Die Bewerbungsgespräche fanden ab Sommer 1977 am Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Texasstatt – Resnik wurde im November eingeladen.
