Nancy Jane Currie-Gregg (née Decker; former married names Sherlock and Currie;[1][2] born December 29, 1958) is an American engineer, United States Army officer and a NASA astronaut.

An astronaut since 1990, she has been involved in robotic hardware and procedure development for the shuttle and space station and has worked as a spacecraft communicator.

Additionally, this mission featured the first flight of Spacehab, a commercially provided middeck augmentation module for the conduct of microgravity experiments, as well as a spacewalk by two crewmembers, during which Dr. Currie-Gregg operated the Shuttle's robotic arm.

Dr. Currie-Gregg's primary role was to operate the Shuttle's 50-foot robotic arm to retrieve Zarya and connect the first two station segments.

Two crewmembers performed a series of three spacewalks to connect electrical umbilicals and to attach hardware to the exterior structure for use during future EVAs.

During the mission, the STS-88 crew ingressed the International Space Station to complete systems activation and installation of communication's equipment.

During the flight, Dr. Currie-Gregg's primary role was to operate the Shuttle's 50-foot robot arm to retrieve and redeploy the telescope following the completion of numerous upgrades and repairs.

[6] Currie-Gregg previously held an appointment as adjunct associate professor in North Carolina State University's Department of Industrial Engineering.

[7] Currie-Gregg developed a finite element human vibration model for use in spacecraft coupled loads analysis.
