Jane "Janey" Briggs Hart (néeBriggs; October 21, 1921 – June 5, 2015) was an American aviator and in the 1960s, became one of the Mercury 13 women who qualified physically in the same tests as those used for male astronauts. She earned her first pilot's license during World War II and later became the first licensed female helicopter pilot in Michigan.[1]
In the early 1960s, Hart was chosen to participate in the Lovelace Foundation's Woman in Space Program, a privately funded project designed to test women pilots for astronaut fitness by subjecting them to the same physical tests developed by NASA for astronauts.[2] At the age of 40, Hart became one of only 13 women (later dubbed the Mercury 13) to qualify.[2]
In 2007, Hart was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.
