In 2005, Tingle went back to Patuxent River, Maryland, as the Ship Suitability Department Head and test pilot with the Salty Dogs of VX-23. Here, he checked FA-18C Hornet, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler airplane and accredited carrier accuracy landing systems. Tingle was connected to PMA-201 as the assistant program manager/systems engineer for the Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM) and Harpoon weapon systems when picked as an astronaut. He has actually built up more than 4,500 flight hours in 51 kinds of airplane, 750 provider arrestments and 54 fight objectives.
Captain Tingle was picked in July 2009 as one of 9 members of the 20th NASA astronaut class.

Tingle was signed up with by Russian Cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov of Roscosmos and Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. During the objective, numerous experiments were performed, consisting of products screening, blood vessel circulation experiments, combustion research study, and research study into plant development in area. They likewise caught and launched 4 freight spacecraft providing numerous lots of materials and experiments. Tingle and Kanai ventured outside the station on different spacewalks to carry out deal with parts of the Canadarm2 robotic arm. They likewise took part in lots of instructional occasions as part of NASA’s Year of Education on Station. Tingle went back to earth after 168 days of living and operating in low-Earth orbit.
Through the Artemis program, NASA and a union of worldwide partners will go back to the Moon to find out how to survive on other worlds for the advantage of all. With Artemis objectives NASA will send out the very first female and the next male to the Moon in 2024 and about when each year afterwards.
Through the efforts of human beings and robotics, we will check out more of the Moon than ever prior to; to lead a journey of discovery that benefits our world with life-altering science, to utilize the Moon and its resources as an innovation testbed to go even further and to find out how to develop and sustain a human existence far beyond Earth.
