Gregory Thomas Linteris, Ph.D. (born October 4, 1957 in Demarest, New Jersey) is a NASA astronaut and payload specialist.
Linteris received a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering from Princeton University in 1979 and a master of science degree from the design division of the mechanical engineering department at Stanford University in 1984; he was awarded a doctorate in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton in 1990. Linteris is a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Physical Society, the Combustion Institute and Sigma Xi. He has over 40 publications in the areas of combustion, chemical kinetics, spectroscopy, and heat transfer.
Linteris was a payload specialist on STS-83 (April 4-8, 1997) and STS-94 (July 1-17, 1997) and has logged over 471 hours in space. STS-83, the Microgravity Science Laboratory (MSL-1) Spacelab mission, was cut short because of problems with one of the Space Shuttle's three fuel cell power generation units. STS-94 was a re-flight of the Microgravity Science Laboratory (MSL-1) Spacelab mission, and focused on materials and combustion science research in microgravity.
