Bio
Cameron studied aeronautics and astronautics at MIT and served as a Marine aviator and test pilot before NASA. His flights included a satellite deployment mission, a science mission, and the second shuttle docking with Mir.
He piloted STS-37 and commanded STS-56 and STS-74. STS-74 delivered the Mir Docking Module, an important step in making Shuttle-Mir dockings more operationally routine.
After NASA, Cameron worked in aerospace and NASA safety/engineering leadership.
