He attended the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School from June 1993 to June 1994 and has logged more than 5,000 hours in more than 50 different aircraft and has over 375 carrier landings.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of many awards, including the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit and Distinguished Flying Cross, Captain Kelly was selected as an astronaut in 1996. He flew his first of four missions in 2001 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, the same space shuttle that he commanded on its final flight in May 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Kelly has spent more than 50 days in space and is one of only two individuals who has visited the International Space Station on four different occasions. Captain Kelly\u2019s identical twin brother, Scott Kelly, is also an astronaut and currently serving aboard the International Space Station during a year-long mission. They share the distinction of being the only siblings who have traveled in space.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Kelly was thrust into the national spotlight in January 2011 after his wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Kelly received a B.S. degree in Marine Engineering from the United States Merchant Marine Academy and a M.S. degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.<\/p>\n<p>The son of two police officers, Captain Kelly is a native of West Orange, New Jersey and resides in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARCH 26, 2015 &#8212; Captain Mark Kelly, a retired naval aviator and NASA astronaut, has joined NBC News and MSNBC as Space and Aviation Contributor.
