Which Space Shuttle carried Jose Hernandez and Danny Ochoa?

• A. Space Shuttle Discovery
• B. Space Shuttle Endeavour
• C. Space Shuttle Atlantis
• D. Space Shuttle Columbia

Answer: (A)

Understanding which Space Shuttle carried a particular astronaut comes from linking the astronaut to their mission. Jose Hernandez flew as a mission specialist on STS-128, the Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 2009. That flight was aboard Space Shuttle Discovery, so Discovery is the shuttle that carried him (and the crew, including Danny Ochoa). STS-128 delivered supplies and the Leonardo logistics module to the ISS, continuing operations there. Knowing the mission name helps you connect the astronaut to the exact spacecraft they rode.
