-'''Yi So-yeon''' (born [[June 2]] [[1978]]) is a [[South Korea]]n [[scientist]] and [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph.D. graduate]] of [[KAIST]] (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). On [[April 8]] [[2008]], she became the first [[Korea|Korean]]<ref>{{cite news|title=한국 최초 우주인 이소연과 그 동료들|url=http://news.joins.com/article/3104212.html?ctg=12 |author=바이코누르 |publisher=[[Yonhap news]] hosed by [[JungAng Ilbo]]|date=2008-04-08|language=Korean}}</ref> and the second Asian woman (defined as a female resident of a country in [[Asia]] at the time of her spaceflight)<ref>[http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2008/04/133_22148.html Yi Blasts Off Into Space<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> to fly in space, after [[Chiaki Mukai]].
-==Biography==
-Yi So-yeon was born to father Yi Gil-soo and mother Jeong Geum-soon and raised in [[Gwangju]], [[South Korea]].<ref>[http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2008/04/117_22139.html Astronaut Gives Dream to Youth], ''[[The Korea Times]]''   04-08-2008 - Kim Rahn</ref>
-Yi studied at [[Gwangju Science High School]]. She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees with a focus on mechanics at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in [[Daejeon]]. Her doctorate in biotech systems was conferred on [[29 February]] [[2008]] in a ceremony at KAIST although she was unable to be present due to her training commitments in Russia.

-Yi was one of the two finalists chosen on [[25 December]] [[2006]] through the Korean Astronaut Program. On [[5 September]] [[2007]], the [[South Korea|Korean]] Ministry of Science and Technology chose [[Ko San]], over Yi So-yeon, following performance and other [[test]]s during their training in [[Russia]].<ref name="iht070904">{{cite web |url=http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/09/04/asia/AS-GEN-SKorea-Astronaut.php |title=South Korea to announce its first astronaut |work=International Herald Tribune |author=Associated Press |date=2007-09-04 |accessdate=2008-03-10}}</ref><ref name="chron8147">{{cite web |url=http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/space/5108147.html |title=South Korea taps robotics expert as 1st astronaut |work=Houston Chronical |first=Sangwon |last=Yoon |date=2007-09-04 |accessdate=2008-03-10}}</ref>
-On [[7 March]] [[2008]], she was selected to train with the primary crew, and on [[10 March]] the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology announced that Yi would replace Ko. This was after the [[Russian Federal Space Agency]] asked for a replacement because Ko violated regulations several times at a Russian training center by removing sensitive reading materials and mailing one back to Korea.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/library/news/2008/space-080310-voa02.htm|title=South Korea Will Send Woman Into Space|publisher=globalsecurity.org|date=2008-03-10|accessdate=2008-04-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/080310-southkorea-astronaut-switch.html|title=South Korea Switches to Backup for First Astronaut Flight|publisher=space.com|date=2008-03-10|accessdate=2008-04-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/10/korea.astronaut.ap/index.html |title=S.

-===Terminology===
-Flying as a guest of the Russian government through a commercial agreement with South Korea, Yi's role aboard Soyuz and the ISS is referred to as a [[spaceflight participant]] ({{lang-ru|''uchastnik kosmicheskovo poleta''}}) in [[Russian Federal Space Agency]] and [[NASA]] documents and press briefings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition17/index.html|title=Expedition 17|accessdate=2008-04-09|publisher=[[NASA]]}}</ref>
-==Mission==
-[[Image:Korean astronaut-Yi Soyeon-02.jpg|thumb|Yi So-yeon]]
-During her mission, Yi So-yeon carried out 18&nbsp;science experiments for [[Korea Aerospace Research Institute|KARI]] and conducted interviews and discussions with media. In particular, she took with her 1,000&nbsp;[[Drosophila melanogaster|fruit flies]] in a special air-conditioned container box ([[Konkuk University]] experiment). She monitored the way the changes in gravity and other environmental conditions alter the behaviour of the flies, or their genome. Other experiments involved the growth of plants in space, the study of the behaviour of her heart, and the effects of gravity change on the pressure in her eye and shape of her face. With a specially designed three-dimensional [[Samsung]] camera, Yi took six shots of her face every day to see how it swells in the different gravity. She also observed the Earth, and in particular the movement of dust storms from China to Korea.<ref>[http://voanews.com/english/2008-04-08-voa28.cfm South Korea's First Woman Astronaut Lifts Off Into Space] ''[[Voice of America]]'' - Kurt Achin</ref> She will also measure the noise levels on board the ISS.<ref>[http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/techscience/2008/04/08/28/0601000000AEN20080408005600320F.HTML Astronaut tests aimed at enhancing space science, biotech] ''[[Yonhap|Yonhap News]]'' April 8</ref>

-South Korean scientists created a special low-calorie and vitamin-rich version of [[kimchi]] for Yi.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/02/22/asia/kimchi.php|title=Kimchi goes into space, along with first Korean astronaut|work=Choe Sang-Hun|date=2008-02-22|accessdate=2008-04-09|publisher=[[International_Herald_Tribune]]}}</ref>
-==Return flight==
-At the end of the mission, Yi returned to Earth along with ISS crew members [[Peggy Whitson]] and [[Yuri Malenchenko]] aboard Soyuz TMA-11, on [[April 19]], [[2008]]. The craft followed a ballistic re-entry, which typically subjects the crew to extreme force. The re-entry into Earth's atmosphere was a steeper than usual descent, thus subjecting the crew to severe gravitational forces at up to 10 times the amount experienced on Earth. As a result of the re-entry, the TMA-11 craft used in the return flight landed {{mi to km|260}} off-course from its target in [[Kazakhstan]]. <ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080421/ap_on_sc/russia_space;_ylt=AiVI1RLZfoaZWduDsXQpP8txieAA</ref>  All three survived, although requiring observation by medical personnel.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/04/19/skorea.soyuz/index.html Soyuz crew endures severe G-forces on re-entry - CNN.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-Yi was hospitalized after her return to Korea due to severe back pains caused by the rough return voyage<ref>[http://au.biz.yahoo.com/080429/17/1pwkn.html S. KOREA'S FIRST ASTRONAUT HOSPITALIZED AFTER ROUGH LANDING]
-</ref>.
-==Post-flight==
-After her flight, Yi works as a researcher at KARI as well as acting as Korea's space ambassador, together with Ko San. She will also receive income from future TV commercials.<ref>{{cite news |author=Cho Jin-seo |title=Yi Ready for Blasting Off Into Space |url=http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2008/04/133_22151.html |work=[[The Korea Times]] |date=2008-04-08 |accessdate=2008-04-09}}</ref>
