the career i picked for my assingment is a mission specialist astronaunt. a mission specialist astronaunt has certain duties and responsabilities. those responsibilities are that the mission specialist astonaunt will have overall responsibility for the coordination of shuttle operations in the areas of crewactivity planning, consumables usage, and experiment and payload operations. mission specialists are required to have adetailed knowledge of shuttle systems, as well as operational characteristics, mission requirments and objectives, and supporting systems and equipment for each of the experiments to be conducted on their assingment missions specialists may perform extravehicular activities, payload handiling using the remote manipulator system, and performor assist in specific experiment operations. ... obviously, this is not a question that astronauts usually face(except maybe on Apollo 13) but hopefully it illustrates the way in which math(in this case, calculus, algerbra, etc) and science(inthis case, the physics of orbits),which has math at its heart, relates to everything that goes on in a space flight mission.
