Glover is 'n kommandeur in die Amerikaanse Vloot waar hy 'n F/A-18 loods, en is 'n gegradueerde van die Amerikaanse Lugmag se Toetsvlieënierskool.

NASA-loopbaan

Glover en sy medebemanning binne die SpaceX Crew-1-kapsule tydens sy nadering van die ISS

Glover is in Junie 2013 as een van die Ruimtevaardergroep 21-span bekendgestel, en het sy opleiding in 2015 voltooi.

In Augustus 2018 is Glover bekendgestel as een van die handelsruimtevaarders, wat aangewys is om die eerste operasionele vlug te onderneem, en die tweede bemanningsvlug algeheel, van SpaceX se Crew Dragon.^[3] As deel van daardie missie sal hy vir meer as ses maande 'n bemanningslid van ISS Ekspedisies 64 en 65 wees.^[4] Glover is die eerste Afro-Amerikaanse ISS-ekspedisie-bemanningslid wat op die ISS woon, en nie net 'n besoek aan die ISS bring vir 'n kort verblyf soos tydens die Ruimtependeltuig as 'n ISS-samestellende ruimtevaarder nie.^[5]

Die SpaceX Crew Dragon-kapsule Resilience wat op 15 November 2020 gelanseer is, het Glover saam met twee ander NASA-ruimtevaarders ( Michael S. Hopkins en Shannon Walker ) sowel as Soichi Noguchi van Japan vervoer. Hulle het op 17 November 2020 by die ruimtestasie aangekom.^[6]

Once secure on the arm, and with help from Rubins inside the orbiting laboratory, Glover 'flew' over to the camera's site, with the blue hues of the Atlantic Ocean swirling hazily below. Glover successfully replaced the broken camera on the starboard truss, the first of three cameras to be installed during the spacewalk. To do this, Glover used a pistol grip tool (PGT), which astronauts use to remove and install bolts during spacewalks.
