collectSPACE Former NASA astronaut Steven Nagel diesNASA astronaut Steven Nagel, who flew four space shuttle missions, died Thursday (Aug. 21). He was 67. Nagel died after a long battle with cancer, the Association of Space Explorers stated on Facebook. The international organization, to which Nagel belonged, includes more than 350 men and women who have flown in space. Nagel joined the astronaut corps in 1978 with NASA's first group of trainees selected for the space shuttle program.  A moment of silence can be signified by a reply with no words and only a period. |

Very sad to hear. Steve was one of the very few who flew as a mission specialist before moving on to pilot and eventually CDR. I know he stayed with NASA as an instructor on the STA for several years after leaving the astronaut corps.I had the opportunity to meet Steve and the STS-37 crew when they were training for that mission. I was working at the airport when they were getting ready to fly back to Houston from the Goddard Space Flight Center. A group of us went to see that launch, and in response to a letter I sent, Steve sent a crew signed photo with a fantastic inscription... "Glad you enjoyed the launch... we sure did!" It's been a tough year for sad news like this. |

So sad to hear another astronaut passed away, also another member of STS-61A passed away (Fuerrer, Hartsfield, Ockels and now Nagel). Our thoughts goes to Linda and his family. R.I.P Steven Nagel. |
