officer. In 1964, he attended the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School
, Monterey, California
, for studies in mathematics and physics and for a brief time in 1965 studied Russian at the Defense Language Institute
in Monterey. Selected for the Navy’s Advanced Science Program, he received a master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology
the next year. He commenced flight training at the Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida
, in 1966, and received his Naval aviator wings
in 1968. As a pilot with Attack Squadron 35 he deployed to the Western Pacific with Air Wing 15 aboard , flying 114 combat and combat support missions.
In August 1970, Hauck joined Attack Squadron 42
as a visual weapons delivery instructor in the A-6 Intruder
. Selected for test pilot training, he reported to the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland, in 1971. A 3-year tour in the Naval Air Test Center’s Carrier Suitability Branch of the Flight Test Division followed. During this period, Hauck served as a project test pilot for automatic carrier landing systems in the A-6 Intruder
, A-7 Corsair II
, F-4 Phantom and F-14 Tomcat
aircraft and was team leader for the Navy Board of Inspection and Survey aircraft carrier trials of the F-14. In 1974, he reported as operations officer to Commander Carrier Air Wing 14 aboard . On two cruises he flew the A-6, A-7, and F-14 during both day and night carrier operations. He reported to Attack Squadron 145 as Executive Officer in February 1977.
NASA selected Hauck as an astronaut candidate in January 1978. He was pilot for STS-7
, the seventh flight of the Space Shuttle
, which launched from Kennedy Space Center
, Florida
, on June 18, 1983. The crew included Robert Crippen
(spacecraft commander), and three mission specialists, John Fabian
, Sally Ride
, and Norm Thagard. This was the second flight for the orbiter Challenger
and the first mission with a 5-person crew. During the mission, the STS-7 crew deployed satellites for Canada
(ANIK-C2) and Indonesia
(Palapa B-1); operated the Canadian-built Remote Manipulator System (RMS) to perform the first deployment and retrieval exercise (with the Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-01)); and with Crippen conducted the first piloting of the orbiter in close proximity to a free-flying satellite (SPAS-01). Mission duration was 147 hours before landing on a lakebed runway at Edwards Air Force Base
, California, on June 24, 1983.
Hauck was spacecraft commander for the second mission of Discovery
on mission STS 51-A, which launched on November 8, 1984. His crew included Dave Walker
(pilot), and three mission specialists, Joseph Allen, Anna Fisher, and Dale Gardner
. During the mission the crew deployed two satellites, Telesat Canada’s Anik D-2, and Hughes’ LEASAT-1 (Syncom IV-1). In the first space salvage mission in history the crew also retrieved for return to earth the Palapa B-2 and Westar
VI satellites. STS 51-A completed 127 orbits of the earth before landing at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on November 16, 1984.
In March 1985 Captain Hauck became the astronaut office project officer for the integration of the liquid-fueled Centaur upper stage rocket into the shuttle. In May 1985 he was named Commander of the Centaur-boosted Ulysses solar probe
mission, STS 61F (sponsored by the European Space Agency). It was set to launch in a tight launch window in May 1986. After the Challenger accident this mission was postponed, and the Shuttle Centaur project was terminated.
In August 1986, Captain Hauck was appointed NASA Associate Administrator for External Relations, the policy advisor to the NASA Administrator for congressional, public, international, inter-governmental, and educational affairs. He resumed his astronaut duties at the Johnson Space Center in early February 1987.
Hauck was spacecraft commander of Discovery on STS-26
, the first flight to be flown after the Challenger accident. The mission launched on September 29, 1988. The flight crew included the pilot, Richard Covey, and three mission specialists, David Hilmers, Mike Lounge
, and George Nelson
. During the four-day mission, the crew deployed the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-C) and operated eleven mid-deck experiments. Discovery completed 64 orbits of the earth before landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on October 3, 1988. Hauck has logged over 5500 flight hours, 436 in space.
In May 1989 he became Director, Navy Space Systems Division, in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. In this capacity he held budgeting responsibility for the Navy’s space programs. Captain Hauck left military active duty on June 1, 1990.
In October 1990, he joined AXA Space (formerly INTEC) as President and Chief Operating Officer and on January 1, 1993 assumed responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer. AXA Space is a world leader in providing property and casualty insurance for the risk of launching and operating satellites. He retired from AXA Space in April 2005.
