He piloted a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 2009 and served on Expedition 41/42, then in June 2024 flew as part of the first crewed test flight of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, the Boeing Crew Flight Test. Propulsion problems with the Starliner led NASA to keep him aboard the station for an extended stay, and he returned to Earth on a SpaceX Dragon capsule with the Crew-9 crew on March 18, 2025.
