Bowen has been on three spaceflights, all of which were Space Shuttle missions to the International Space Station. His first mission, STS-126, took place in November 2008, and his second was STS-132 in May 2010.\r\n\r\nIn March 2011, Bowen completed his third spaceflight as a Mission Specialist on STS-133, which was Space Shuttle Discovery's final planned flight. Having flown on both STS-132 and STS-133, Bowen became the first and only astronaut to fly on consecutive shuttle missions. Originally Tim Kopra was scheduled to fly on STS-133, but Kopra had a bicycle injury shortly before the mission, and so he was replaced by Bowen.","profile_image":"https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/stephen_bowen_image_20220911034047.jpeg","profile_image_thumbnail":"https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/255bauto255d__image_thumbnail_20240305190106.jpeg","wiki":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Bowen_(astronaut)","flights":[],"landings":[],"last_flight":"2023-03-02T05:34:14Z","first_flight":"2008-11-15T00:55:39Z"}
