Megan McArthur is an astronaut. She has been with the United States space agency, NASA, for 10 years. McArthur dreamed of being an astronaut when she was a teenager. She worked hard to make it happen.
In college, McArthur studied aerospace engineering. She also studied the ocean. "Exploring the ocean is smilar to exploring space," she told TFK. "We have to use technology to help us explore both."
In 2000, NASA offered McArthur a job. "It was hard to believe!" she says.
Last May, McArthur took her first trip to space, on the shuttle Atlantis. During the mission, astronauts completed an important job. they fixed the Hubble space telescope. Now, Hubble sends back images of the universe that are clearer than ever.
Training for the mission took more than a year. each person on the shuttle had a job. McArthur was in charge of the robotic arm. She used it to grab and move the giant telescope.
McArthur also held on to spacewalkers with the robotic arm. That made it easier for the astronauts to replace Hubble's cameras.
What is it like seeing Earth from space? "Incredible, " says McArthur. "Watching the sun rise and set is breathtaking."
