NASA Astronaut Group 10 (nicknamed "The Maggots") was a group of 17 astronauts that were announced on May 23, 1984 and consisted of seven pilots and ten mission specialists. Although selected in 1984, no member of the group would fly until 1988 (William Shepherd on STS-27) due to the Challenger disaster and the resulting grounding of the Space Shuttle fleet.
Achievements
Of this group, several spaceflight firsts were achieved:
First American-born Hispanic astronaut and first Hispanic shuttle pilot and commander: Sidney Gutierrez (June 5, 1991, STS-40)
First International Space Station commander: William Shepherd (October 31, 2000, Expedition 1)
First person to command five space missions and tallest person in space: James Wetherbee (November 23, 2002, STS-113)
First submariner in space: Michael McCulley (October 18, 1989, STS-34)
