As of October 2023, no astronauts have died during missions in space; however, there have been fatalities during training and launch preparations. The most notable incidents include the Challenger disaster in 1986 and the Columbia disaster in 2003, where a total of 14 astronauts lost their lives. Given that over 600 astronauts have flown in space, the percentage of astronauts who have died during actual space missions is effectively 0%, though the overall risk in the field remains significant.
