Nowak, 43, was arrested on charges including battery and attempted kidnapping, according to an Orlando police affidavit.
She told police she drove from Houston to the Orlando International Airport to confront Colleen Shipman, who Nowak considered a rival for the attentions of fellow astronaut Bill Oefelein, the affidavit said.
