Nancy Jan Davisová (* 1. listopadu 1953 v Cocoa Beach, stát Florida, USA) je americká kosmonautka. Ve vesmíru byla třikrát.
Život
Studium a zaměstnání
V roce 1971 zdárně ukončila střední školu Huntsville High School ve městě Huntsville v státě Alabama a pak pokračovala dalším studiem na Georgijském technickém institutu. Po skončení studia v roce 1975 pokračovala ve studiu na Auburn University, zde dostudovala v roce 1977 a pak ve studiích pokračovala na University of Alabama v Huntsville.
V letech 1977 až 1979 pracovala v ropném průmyslu a od roku 1979 v NASA (Huntsville, pak Houston).
Vdala se za astronauta Marka Lee. Letěli v raketoplánu společně v letu STS-47.
Lety do vesmíru
Na oběžnou dráhu se v raketoplánech dostala třikrát jako letová specialistka a strávila ve vesmíru 28 dní, 2 hodiny a 7 minut. Byla 280. člověkem ve vesmíru, 19. ženou.
- STS-47 Endeavour (12. září 1992 – 20. září 1992)
- STS-60 Discovery (3. února 1994 – 11. února 1994)
- STS-85 Discovery, (7. srpen 1997 – 19. srpen1997)

STS-60 crew patch
STS-60 crew patch
- The design of the crew patch for NASA's STS-60 mission depicts the Space Shuttle Discovery's on-orbit configuration. The American and Russian flags symbolize the partnership of the two countries and their crew members taking flight into space together for the first time. The open payload bay contains: the Space Habitation Module (Spacehab), a commercial space laboratory for life and material science experiments; and a Getaway Special Bridge Assembly in the aft section carrying various experiments, both deployable and attached. A scientific experiment to create and measure an ultra-vacuum environment and perform semiconductor material science – the Wake Shield Facility – is shown on the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) prior to deployment.

Sts-85-patch.png
The mission patch for STS-85 is designed to reflect the broad range of science and engineering payloads on the flight. The primary objectives of the mission were to measure chemical constituents in Earth's atmosphere with a free-flying satellite and to flight-test a new Japanese robotic arm designed for use on the International Space Station (ISS). STS-85 was the second flight of the satellite known as Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere-Shuttle Pallet Satellite-2 CRISTA-SPAS-02. CRISTA, depicted on the right side of the patch pointing its trio of infrared telescopes at Earth's atmosphere, stands for Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere. The high inclination orbit is shown as a yellow band over Earth's northern latitudes. In the Space Shuttle Discovery's open payload bay an enlarged version of the Japanese National Space Development Agency's (NASDA) Manipulator Flight Demonstration (MFD) robotic arm is shown. Also shown in the payload bay are two sets of multi-science experiments: the International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker (IEH-02) nearest the tail and the Technology Applications and Science (TAS-01) payload. Jupiter and three stars are shown to represent sources of ultraviolet energy in the universe. Comet Hale-Bopp, which was visible from Earth during the mission, is depicted at upper right. The left side of the patch symbolizes daytime operations over the Northern Hemisphere of Earth and the solar science objectives of several of the payloads.

The mission emblem of STS-47 depicts the Space Shuttle Orbiter with the Spacelab module in the cargo bay against a backdrop of the flags of the United States and Japan, symbolizing the side-by-side cooperation of the two nations in this mission. The land masses of Japan and Alaska are represented on the emblem emphasizing the multi-national aspect of the flight as well as the high inclination orbit of 57 degrees. The initials `SLJ' on the left border of the emblem stand for Spacelab Japan, but the name generally used for the mission is `Spacelab-J.' The Japanese characters on the right border form the word `Fuwatto' which is the Japanese word for weightlessness.
