Hayley Arceneaux is a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital employee, bone cancer survivor and private astronaut who is now a physician assistant; she will join billionaire Jared Isaacman on SpaceX's first private spaceflight SpaceX Inspiration4 slated to launch no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2021. At age 29, Arceneaux could become the youngest American in space, depending on the age of her unannounced crew mates.
She will serve as the crew's Chief Medical Officer. She thinks she might be the first cajun in space. She will also be the first person to launch with a prosthesis.
She was raised in St. Francisville, Louisiana. When she was 10, she had a cancerous tumor in her left leg. She underwent chemotherapy, surgery at St. Jude to replace her knee and get a titanium rod in her left thigh bone, and physical therapy. The experience inspired her to want to work with other cancer patients at St. Jude when she grew up.
Family
Her brother Hayden and her sister-in-law are aerospace engineers.
