Which two Mexican-American astronauts were aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery?

• A. Jose Hernandez and Danny Ochoa
• B. Jose Hernandez and Ellen Ochoa
• C. Jose Hernandez and John Grunsfeld
• D. Danny Ochoa and Ellen Ochoa

Answer: (A)

Two Mexican-American astronauts flew on Space Shuttle Discovery: Ellen Ochoa and Jose M. Hernandez. Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman in space, flew on Discovery during STS-96 in 1999. Jose M. Hernandez flew on Discovery later, as a mission specialist on STS-128 in 2009. The pair you’re looking for isn’t a match with Danny Ochoa, who isn’t listed as a Discovery crew member. So the pair that reflects Discovery’s Mexican-American astronauts is Jose Hernandez and Ellen Ochoa.
