Andrew F. J. Abercromby (born 12 May 1980) is a biomedical engineer working on the design and testing of spacesuit systems and rovers for future exploration of the solar system. He works for Wyle Integrated Science & Engineering at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. As an aquanaut, Abercromby served as a member of the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations 14 (NEEMO 14) crew. Abercromby has more than ten years of experience working in the Space Life Sciences and Engineering Directorates at the Johnson Space Center.〔 He is married with two daughters. == Education == Growing up in a fishing village in Scotland, Abercromby played soccer, rugby and cricket. He was not interested in space exploration until the age of 17, while attending Buckhaven High School in Fife, Scotland, when he was offered the chance to fly to the United States and join an International Space School at NASA's Johnson Space Center. Abercromby had never been on an aircraft before.〔〔 His host while in Houston was Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield. Abercromby would later say, "It was really something – sharing my breakfast cereal with a real-life astronaut."〔 After spending two weeks at NASA Abercromby knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.〔〔〔 Because no aerospace degree was available in Scotland,〔 after leaving high school Abercromby studied mechanical engineering at the University of Edinburgh while trying to figure out a way to become involved in space exploration and perhaps fly in space himself one day. After much study, part-time jobs, and some pilot training with the reserves of the Royal Air Force, Abercromby was employed by NASA.〔 Abercromby received an award as best graduate student from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.〔 He received an MEng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Edinburgh in 2002. In 2006 Abercromby received a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Houston. He was honoured as a Distinguished Alumnus by the University's Department of Health and Human Performance (HHP) in 2007.
