Space Pioneer: Former NASA Astronaut and Administrator Richard Truly Dies at 86
Richard Truly, a distinguished former NASA Administrator and pioneering astronaut, passed away on February 27, 2024, at the age of 86 in his home in Genesee, Colorado. Truly’s remarkable career spanned several decades, during which he left an indelible mark on the United States Navy and NASA, and by extension, on humanity’s quest to explore space.
Beginning his career in the Navy, Truly exemplified bravery and skill as a test pilot and naval aviator, achieving more than 300 aircraft carrier landings. His transition from the role of ensign to vice admiral showcased his leadership and dedication to service.
Truly’s contributions to space exploration were profound. As an astronaut, he was integral to the Approach and Landing Tests of the space shuttle Enterprise and led missions on the space shuttle Columbia and Challenger, including the first piloted spacecraft to be reflown in space and the first night launch and landing.
