In the same year she was selected as one of five West German astronaut candidates for the Spacelab D-2 mission, along with Hans Schlegel, Ulrich Walter, Gerhard Thiele and Renate Brümmer. She served as Cap com during the D-2 mission in 1993, but was never assigned to a spaceflight herself. After retiring as an astronaut, she became a professional pilot for Lufthansa. She is married to astronaut Hans Schlegel. Heike John Heike John (now Heike Walpot; born 19 June 1960) is a retired German swimmer and former astronaut candidate. She won a bronze
