Janice Elaine Vossová (8. října 1956 v South Bend, stát Indiana, USA – 7. února 2012 Scottsdale, stát Arizona) byla americká kosmonautka. Ve vesmíru byla pětkrát.
Život
Studium a zaměstnání
Absolvovala střední školu Minnechaug Regional High School v městě Wilbraham (1972) a pak pokračovala ve studiu na Purdueově univerzitě. Po ukončení studia v roce 1975 pokračovala ve vysokoškolském studiu na Massachusetts Institute od Technology. Studium zakončila získáním doktorátu v roce 1987.
Zaměstnání si našla v Houstonu u NASA Zde také prodělala výcvik a od roku 1991 byla členkou jednotky astronautů při NASA.
Vdala se v roce 1994 a záhy rozvedla. Zemřela ve věku 55 let na rakovinu.
Lety do vesmíru
Na oběžnou dráhu se v raketoplánech dostala pětkrát s funkcí letová specialistka a strávila ve vesmíru 49 dní, 3 hodiny a 49 minut. Byla 295, člověkem ve vesmíru, 24. ženou.
- STS-57 Endeavour (21. června 1993 – 1. července 1993)
- STS-63 Discovery (3. února 1995 – 11. února 1995)

Sts-83-patch.png
The crew patch for NASA's STS-83 mission depicts the Space Shuttle Columbia launching into space for the first Microgravity Sciences Laboratory 1 (MSL-1) mission. MSL-1 investigated materials science, fluid dynamics, biotechnology, and combustion science in the microgravity environment of space, experiments that were conducted in the Spacelab Module in the Space Shuttle Columbia's cargo bay. The center circle symbolizes a free liquid under microgravity conditions representing various fluid and materials science experiments. Symbolic of the combustion experiments is the surrounding starburst of a blue flame burning in space. The 3-lobed shape of the outermost starburst ring traces the dot pattern of a transmission Laue photograph typical of biotechnology experiments. The numerical designation for the mission is shown at bottom center. As a forerunner to missions involving International Space Station (ISS), STS-83 represented the hope that scientific results and knowledge gained during the flight will be applied to solving problems on Earth for the benefit and advancement of humankind.

STS099-(S)-001 (JUNE 1999) STS-99 INSIGNIA -- The crew members designed the flight insignia for the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), the most ambitious Earth mapping mission to date. Two radar antennas, one located in the Shuttle bay and the other located on the end of a 60-meter deployable mast, will be used during the mission to map Earth's features. The goal is to provide a 3-dimensional topographic map of the world's surface up to the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The clear portion of Earth illustrates the radar beams penetrating its cloudy atmosphere and the unique understanding of the home planet that is provided by space travel. The grid on Earth reflects the mapping character of the SRTM mission. The patch depicts the Space Shuttle Endeavour orbiting Earth in a star spangled universe. The rainbow along Earth's horizon resembles an orbital sunrise. The crew deems the bright colors of the rainbow as symbolic of the bright future ahead because of human beings' venturing into space.

STS-57 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, crew insignia (logo), the Official insignia of the NASA STS-57 mission, depicts the Space Shuttle Endeavour maneuvering to retrieve the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) microgravity experiment satellite. Spacehab -- the first commercial space laboratory -- is depicted in the cargo bay (payload bay (PLB)), and its characteristic shape is represented by the inner red border of the patch. The three gold plumes surrounded the five stars trailing EURECA are suggestive of the United States (U.S.) astronaut logo. The five gold stars together with the shape of the orbiter's mechanical arm form the mission's numerical designation. The six stars on the American flag represent the U.S. astronauts who comprise the crew. With detailed input from the crewmembers, the final artwork was accomplished by artist Tim Hall. The names of the STS-57 flight crewmembers are located along the border of the patch. They are Commander Ronald J. Grabe, Pilot Brian J.
