(詳細はNASA on August 11, 1967, the second group of scientist-astronauts. Only five of the eleven were given formal assignments in the Apollo Program, and these were all non-flying. Assignments for the group were delayed by the requirement to spend a full year at UPT to become qualified as jet pilots (as were the Group 4 scientists before them). This requirement for scientists to be trained as jet pilots was eventually lifted with the creation of the Mission Specialist position in the Shuttle Program. The seven members of Group 6 who stayed with the program after Apollo went on to form the core of Shuttle Mission Specialists, accomplishing a total of 15 flights. == Group members == *Joseph Allen (born 1937), Physicist (2 flights) :STS-5 — November 1982 — Mission specialist — SBS-C and Anik C-3 satellite deployment mission〔 :STS-51-A — November 1984 — Mission specialist — Anik D-2 and Syncom IV-1 satellite deployment; Westar 6 and Palapa B2 satellite retrieval mission〔 *Philip Chapman (born 1935), Engineer :Served as mission scientist for Apollo 14, but left NASA in July 1972 due to lack of spaceflight opportunities.
