Astronaut Jeanette Epps is the first Black woman to join an International Space Station crew.

Astronaut Jeanette Epps was removed from her highly anticipated NASA mission because of "oppressive racism and misogyny," her brother says.

Astronaut Jeanette Epps will make history as the first African-American astronaut to fly on board the International Space Station as a flight engineer during an expedition in May 2018.
