Frank Drake, creator of the Drake equation, died on September 2, 2022.

Drake was known for creating the Drake equation in 1961. The equation estimated the potential number of communicative civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. Here is a link to Space.com's obituary on him.

Drake devised his famous equation in 1961, a year after he initiated Project Ozma, which used a radio telescope to hunt for possible signals from extraterrestrial civilizations.

Project Ozma was a milestone, bringing new technology and a new way of thinking to the previously haphazard search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). And that approach has stood the test of time.
