Michael John "Bloomer" Bloomfield (born March 16, 1959)[1] is an American former astronaut and a veteran of three Space Shuttle missions.

Born in Flint and raised in Lake Fenton, Michigan,[1] Bloomfield received his bachelor's degree in Engineering Mechanics from the United States Air Force Academy, where he played Falcons football for coach Bill Parcells and was the team's captain.

He became an F-15 fighter pilot with the rare combination of having graduated the Fighter Weapons Instructor Course (FWIC, pronounced 'Fwick') and then selected as a test pilot (assigned to the F-16 test squadron at Edwards AFB).

Selected by NASA in December 1994, Bloomfield reported to the Johnson Space Center in March 1995.

He first flew as a pilot aboard STS-86 in 1997, where he docked with the space station Mir.
