One of the 19 pilot astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966 Brand initially was a crew member in the thermal vacuum chamber testing of the prototype command module alongside astronauts Joe Engle and Dr. Joseph Kerwin and support crewman on Apollos 8 and 13. During the Apollo 13 crisis Brand was CAPCOM during the PC2 burn. Later he was backup Command Module Pilot for Apollo 15 and was likely to be named to the prime crew of Apollo 18 before that mission was canceled. Brand was backup commander for Skylabs 3 and 4. When Skylab 3's CSM had problems with its Reaction Control System Brand was put on standby to command a rescue mission with backup Pilot Don Lind; however the crew stood down when it was decided that the problem did not require the rescue mission to be launched. As an astronaut he held management positions relating to spacecraft development acquisition flight safety and mission operations. Brand flew on four space missions; Apollo–Soyuz STS-5 STS-41-B and STS-35. He commanded three missions. Brand was the last member of his astronaut class to remain active with NASA and was the only Apollo-era astronaut to pilot the Space Shuttle in the post-Challenger era. Brand departed the Astronaut Office in 1992 to become Chief of Plans at the National Aerospace Plane NASP Joint Program Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
