Piers Sellers is an Astronaut from Crowborough, UK. His Bachelor of Science degree is in Ecological science from Scotland's University of Edinburgh and his doctorate is in biometeorology from Leeds University in the UK. After two years of intense training, Sellers's first assignment as a Mission Specialist is on Flight 111 STS-112. The goal of this flight is to continue building the International Space Station. Sellers, accompanied by five astronauts, will install the S1 truss of the space station which will take three EVA's, or Extra Vehicular Activities to complete. In EVA 1, the highest priority, the S1 truss will be attached to the space station. EVA 2, the electrical work, will set up the radiator and cooling equipment for the station. EVA 3, the final process of the flight, will prepare the station for the next mission. The primary reason for installing the truss is to change the center of gravity of the station so when the next truss is installed, it will be at a symmetrical point.
