After 18 months of intense training, NASA's latest astronaut candidates now 
are officially astronauts, and several already are Amateur Radio licensees. 
The class of 11, including three educator astronauts selected from teachers 
across the nation, received NASA Astronaut pins in a graduation ceremony 
February 10. This is NASA's first astronaut class focused from the start on 
realizing the Vision for Space Exploration, America's long-term exploration 
strategy that includes extending a human presence across the solar system. 
Their training has included water and land survival courses, T-38 flight 
instruction and space shuttle and International Space Station systems 
training as well as numerous qualifying exams and flight evaluations. The 
new astronauts' immediate duties include support roles in the space shuttle 
and space station programs. The new astronauts and their work assignments 
are: Mission Specialist-Educator Joe Acaba, KE5DAR, Mission 
Specialist-Educator Richard Arnold, KE5DAU, and Mission Specialist-Educator 
Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, KE5DAT--all Space station branch and education; 
Pilot Randy Bresnik, Space station branch; Mission Specialist Christopher 
Cassidy, Space station operations branch and CapCom branch; Pilot James 
Dutton, Exploration branch; Mission Specialist Jose Hernandez, KE5DAV,

trained alongside the NASA candidates and will join the rest of the corps.
