The estranged wife of a NASA astronaut<\/a> pleaded guilty to lying to law enforcement over what was alleged to be the first crime to be committed in space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Summer Worden now faces up to five years in federal prison<\/a> and a possible $250,000 maximum fine in relation to the false reports she made about Anne McClain, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In July 2019, Summer Heather Worden alleged her estranged spouse had guessed the password and illegally accessed her bank account while the spouse was deployed to the International Space Station,” the office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“However, Worden\u00a0had actually opened\u00a0the account in April 2018. Both parties had accessed it until January 2019 when Worden changed the credentials,” it added. “The investigation revealed Worden had granted her spouse access to her bank records\u00a0from at least\u00a02015, including her login credentials.”<\/p>\n

The initial claim made by Worden \u2013 which was the first allegation of a crime in space \u2013 generated inquiries from the Federal Trade Commission and NASA\u2019s Inspector General<\/a>, the New York Times reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The newspaper described<\/a> Worden as a decorated intelligence officer in the Air Force. It added that McClain, a West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran who joined NASA in 2013, returned to the International Space Station in March as commander of the agency\u2019s SpaceX Crew-10 mission.<\/p>\n

Worden and McClain divorced in January 2020, according to KSDK.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Prosecutors said a judge will sentence Worden on Feb. 12, 2026, and that she is allowed to remain on bond pending that hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
