According to Keith Cowing of NASA Watch, veteran space reporter Frank Seitzen died on Sunday (July 31). He was 64.

I worked with Frank at the National Space Society when he served as editor of Ad Astra magazine. Frank's office was lined with space models and he was always ready with a good story or two from space history.

Frank served as president of the Space Transportation Association, was the first Washington Bureau Chief for Space.com and wrote for the United Press International (UPI) wire service. He was the author of "Apollo 11: America on the Moon" and "New Moon Rising: The Making of America's New Space Vision and the Remaking of NASA," which he co-authored with Cowing.

Aviation Week's website shows that Frank contributed at least one article, a 2003 piece about the space shuttle.
