Winston Elliott "Win" Scott (born August 6, 1950) is a retired United States Navy Captain and former NASA astronaut.
In 1978 Scott was selected to attend the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, California, where he earned his master of science degree in aeronautical engineering with an emphasis in avionics.
After completing jet training in the TA-4J Skyhawk, Scott served a tour of duty with Fighter Squadron 84 (VF-84) at NAS Oceana, Virginia, flying the F-14 Tomcat.
He was next assigned as the Deputy Director of the Tactical Aircraft Systems Department at the Naval Air Development Center at Warminster, Pennsylvania.
Scott retired from NASA and the U.S. Navy at the end of September 1999 to accept a position at his alma mater, Florida State University, as Vice President for Student Affairs.
Scott subsequently served as the dean of the College of Aeronautics and senior vice president for External Relations and Economic Development at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL.
STS-87 Columbia (November 19, 1997 – December 5, 1997) was the fourth US microgravity payload flight, and focused on experiments designed to study how the weightless environment of space affects various physical processes, and on observations of the Sun's outer atmospheric layers.
In 2007, he received an honorary degree from Michigan State University for his work in space, which is regarded as a case study in leadership and expert communications.
He is married to the former Marilyn K. Robinson; they have two children, one of whom has followed in his footsteps as a Naval Aviator and currently serves as the commander of Carrier Air Wing Two.
