henize applied for the first scientist-astronaut group, but was denied because the age limit was 35 and he was 37. in 1967, nasa abolished the age limit, and henize was selected as a scientist-astronaut by nasa in august. astronauts that did not already know how to fly had to complete a 53-week jet pilot training program at vance air force base, oklahoma. they also completed initial education there. he was a member of the astronaut support crew and capcom for the apollo 15 mission. the entire support crew consisted of scientist-astronauts, as the prime crew of the mission thought they would need more help with the science aspects of the mission rather than the piloting. he was also a member of the astronaut support crew for the skylab 2, 3, and 4 missions. he was mission specialist for the assess-2 spacelab simulation mission in 1977. he logged 2,300 hours flying time in jet aircraft.
