For 21 years, Ed Gibson was a co-holder of the American record for time in space of 84 days set when he was the Science-Pilot on Skylab III in 1974. On that mission, he worked outside America's first space station for over 15 hours during three different spacewalks.
During his 14-year career with NASA, Ed Gibson also served on the support crew of the Apollo 12 mission and as the ground communicator with the flight crew while they explored the moon. Ed Gibson earned Air Force wings and has logged over 2,200 hours in high-performance aircraft and 100 hours in helicopters.
Ed Gibson earned his undergraduate degree in Engineering from the University of Rochester and an MS and PhD in Engineering and Physics from the California Institute of Technology. After one year in industry, he was selected as one of six members of the first group of Scientist-Astronauts out of 2000 applicants.
After his NASA career, Ed Gibson held marketing and program management positions with Booz, Allen and Hamilton and TRW in the areas of space and energy development. He was the President of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and his own consulting company, Gibson International.
