Lisa M. Nowak (født 10. maj 1963) var NASA astronaut og har fløjet en rumfærgemission som missionsspecialist.
Nowak blev afskediget fra NASA efter hun blev arresteret 5. februar 2007 for et overfald på rivalen Colleen Shipman. Årsagen var et trekantsdrama hvori astronautkollegaen William Oefelein var den 3. part. Efter episoden er Oefelein sendt retur til US Navy i Virginia og Nowak sendt tilbage til US Navy i Texas. Nowak var blevet separeret fra sin mand et par uger før hændelsen[1].

STS-121 patch.png
The STS-121 patch depicts the Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station (ISS) in the foreground, overlaying the astronaut symbol with three gold columns and a gold star. The ISS is shown in the configuration that it will be in during the STS-121 mission. The background shows the nighttime Earth with a dawn breaking over the horizon. STS-121, ISS mission ULF1.1, is the final Shuttle Return to Flight test mission. This utilization and logistics flight will bring a multipurpose logistics module (MPLM) to the ISS with several thousand pounds of new supplies and experiments. In addition, some new orbital replacement units (ORUs) will be delivered and stowed externally on ISS on a special pallet. These ORUs are spares for critical machinery located on the outside of the ISS. During this mission the crew will also carry out testing of Shuttle inspection and repair hardware, as well as evaluate operational techniques and concepts for conducting on-orbit inspection and repair. The NASA insignia design for Shuttle space flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which is not anticipated, such will be publicly announced.
