From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dead astronauts is a sortable list of people who have flown spacecraft missions into space who – as of 20 April 2024 – are no longer alive. They have died on earth (of natural causes or by accident), in space, or during mission launch, re-entry, or landing. Astronauts who have landed on the moon and who have died are also listed separately at the end.
