A Valley professor will take flight later this year, heading into the stars with the first all-civilian SpaceX crew.
Dr. Sian Proctor, a professor of geology, planetary science and sustainability, was announced as a member of a four-person crew heading to space with Elon Musk's company, according to a news release from the Maricopa Community College District.
Dr. Proctor will be joined by Christopher Sembrowski, Hayley Arceneaux and Jared Isaacman on mission Inspiration4. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will launch the civilian crew aboard a Dragon spacecraft.
