Terry Virts Biography
Colonel Terry Virts is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, test pilot, and NASA astronaut whose career spans from flying the F-16 to commanding the International Space Station. Virts has accumulated more than 5,300 flight hours in over 40 different aircraft, including the F-16 and the Space Shuttle. He is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and Harvard Business School, where he received the Alumni Achievement Award.
Virts made his first spaceflight as pilot of the Space Shuttle Endeavour during the STS-130 mission, which delivered the Cupola observatory module to the International Space Station. He later launched aboard Soyuz TMA-15M from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, and assumed command of the ISS as commander of Expedition 43. Virts spent 200 days in space on his Expedition 42/43 flight, placing him among NASA astronauts with the longest continuous space missions. He is one of only four astronauts to have piloted a Space Shuttle, flown on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, performed spacewalks, and commanded the ISS.
In addition to his piloting and command roles, Virts is recognized for his contributions to space photography and visual storytelling. He captured more than 300,000 photographs during his time in space, documenting his missions and contributing to the IMAX film "A Beautiful Planet." His images are featured in the National Geographic book "View From Above: An Astronaut Photographs the World." Virts also set the round-the-world record for global circumnavigation over the North and South Poles and directed the documentary "One More Orbit," which chronicles that achievement.
Virts is the author of several books, including "View From Above," "How to Astronaut," and the children's book "The Astronaut's Guide to Leaving the Planet." In "How to Astronaut," he shares insights into astronaut training, space travel, and his experiences as Crew Medical Officer, including performing the first dental filling in orbit and collaborating with Russian cosmonauts. As a speaker, Virts addresses topics such as intercultural leadership, crisis management, innovation, strategy, and decision-making, drawing on his experiences in aerospace, space exploration, and international cooperation.
Virts serves on the boards of companies in the aerospace, financial, and technology sectors and has consulted in the energy industry and with pro-democracy organizations. His background in military aviation, scientific research, and visual documentation positions him as a knowledgeable voice on leadership, exploration, and the challenges of human spaceflight.
