Astronaut Lisa Nowak has been dismissed from Nasa, after being charged with trying to kidnap a woman she saw as her rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot.
Nasa officials however said the dismissal did not reflect any belief in her guilt or innocence.
She has pleaded not guilty to attempted kidnapping and burglary with assault.
Wednesday's move marked the first time Nasa has publicly fired an astronaut, according to Roger Launius, a space historian at the Smithsonian Institution.
