Payload Specialist
In NASA vernacular, a Payload Specialist (PS) was a Space Shuttle crewmember selected for a single specific mission. Payload Specialists were selected outside the astronaut training process and were not required to be United States citizens, but had to be approved by NASA and undergo rigorous training.
