Thomas Arthur Reiter (født 23. maj 1958 i Frankfurt) er en af 12 astronauter hos Det europæiske rumfartsagentur og oberst i det tyske luftvåben. Thomas Reiter er en af de 50 astronauter, der har været længst tid i rummet. Han bor i Rastede tæt på Oldenburg i Niedersachsen.
I 1982 færdiggjorde Reiter sin uddannelse i astronautik fra Universitetet for det tyske forsvar i München. Han modtog sin træning som pilot in Tyskland og Texas.
Han arbejdede som besætningsmedlem på Euromir 95/Sojuz TM-22-missionen til rumstationen Mir. I løbet af de 179 dage om bord på Mir udførte han to rumvandringer og blev dermed den første tysker til at gøre dette.
Mellem 1996 og 1997 gennemgik Reiter yderligere træning og modtog et begrænset Sojuz-certifikat, der gav ham beføjelse til at kunne styre en Sojuzkapsel retur til jorden.
Reiter var en del af ekspedition 13 til den internationale rumstation. Han blev opsendt med rumfærgen Discovery på mission STS-121 d. 4 juli 2006 efter opsendelsen var blevet forsinket tre dage pga. dårligt vejr. [1]
Reiters mission om bord på ISS kaldtes Astrolab af ESA. [2]
Reiter vendte tilbage til jorden om bord på Discovery sammen med STS-116-missionen. Han har i alt været i rummet i lige over 350 dage – mest af en ikke amerikaner eller russer.

Sts-116-patch.png
The STS-116 patch design signifies the continuing assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). The primary mission objective is to deliver and install the P5 truss element. The P5 installation will be conducted during the first of three planned spacewalks, and will involve use of both the shuttle and station robotic arms. The remainder of the mission will include a major reconfiguration and activation of the ISS electrical and thermal control systems, as well as delivery of Zvezda Service Module debris panels, which will increase ISS protection from potential impacts of micro-meteorites and orbital debris. In addition, a single expedition crewmember will launch on STS-116 to remain onboard the station, replacing an expedition crewmember that will fly home with the shuttle crew. The crew patch depicts the space shuttle rising above the Earth and ISS. The United States and Swedish flags trail the orbiter, depicting the international composition of the STS-116 crew. The seven stars of the constellation Ursa Major are used to provide direction to the North Star, which is superimposed over the installation location of the P5 truss on ISS. 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.

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.

ISS Expedition 14 patch.png
This emblem embodies the past, present, and future of human space exploration. The Roman numeral XIV suspended above the Earth against the black background of space symbolizes the fourteenth expeditionary mission to the International Space Station (ISS), or Международная Космическая Станция. Elements of this symbol merge into a unified trajectory destined for the moon, Mars, and beyond, much as science and operations aboard the ISS today will pave the way for future missions to our celestial neighbors. The five stars honor the astronauts and cosmonauts of missions Apollo 1, Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11, Challenger, and Columbia, who gave their lives in the pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
The NASA insignia for design for shuttle flights and station increments is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize.
