French and Italian sources announced the passing of Dr. Jean-Jacques Favier at age 73, a German-born engineer and physicist who flew aboard Shuttle Columbia during the STS-78 16-day life and microgravity Spacelab mission in 1996. It was part of a collaborative science program called MEPHISTO between NASA and CNES, the French space agency. Chosen in 1985 with the second CNES astronaut group, he was a visiting professor at the Univ. of Alabama-Huntsville; a member of the board of advisors at the International Space University; and published more than 130 research articles and papers. Among his many honors are the NASA Space Flight Medal and the French Legion d'Honneur. |
