Voss earned engineering and aeronautics degrees from Purdue University and MIT. Her technical career included work in space systems, mission operations, and later science mission support.

Her flights included STS-57, STS-63, STS-83, STS-94, and STS-99. The STS-83 and STS-94 pair matters because the Microgravity Science Laboratory mission was reflown after STS-83 ended early.

After her astronaut flights, Voss contributed to NASA science missions, including work connected to Kepler.
