Apollo 1: Gus Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee.
The three astronauts, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, died in a fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, while preparing for the Apollo 1 mission.
Apollo 13 astronauts were brought back safe to earth, and the only person of the three astronauts to die is John, jack Swigert, he died in 1983 of bone marrow cancer.
Apollo 1- a launch pad test resulted in a fire in the space capsule exacerbated by the fact that, at that time, NASA had a high oxygen atmosphere in space capsules, which greatly intensified the fire. The 3 astronauts in the capsule were killed, Grissom, White and Chaffee.They were the only Astronauts lost in the Apollo program.
Several people died, but none during an actual mission. Three astronauts died during a fire in the Apollo 1 capsule during a test launch in 1967.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, (the crew of Apollo 11) are alive and well as of November 2010.
No, three astronauts were on board the Apollo 13 mission (Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise), and they all survived the explosion. They managed to safely return to Earth after facing numerous challenges during the mission.
No, no Russians have died on the moon. The only humans to have died in space missions were three American astronauts in the Apollo 1 incident on January 27, 1967.
Well, some astronauts do. Not all astronauts will die in space, but some will if the mission went wrong or if it is just being there when you die of natural causes.
No the Apollo 13 astronauts were not killed , they returned to the earth in the lunar module.
No fatalities have ever occurred on a shuttle prior to launch. 3 astronauts did die on January 27, 1967 during a test for the Apollo/Saturn-204 launch, also known as AS-204. Command Pilot Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Edward H. White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee died when fire broke out inside the capsule. AS-204 was later officially renamed Apollo 1.
Yes sadly three Americans died in a fire , they were astronauts edward White, virgil grissom and roger chaffee.. They died in a fire.
Not all of them. Of the fourteen astronauts and one cosmonaut that go to the asteroid, eight die.
