June Lockhart, who played Dr. Maureen Robinson on the 1960's television series "Lost in Space," died on Thursday (Oct. 23, 2025) at her home in Santa Monica, California. She was 100.
She also provided the voice of Alpha Control in a 2021 episode of the Netflix reboot of "Lost in Space."
Lockhart worked with NASA on numerous occasions, including recording a PSA about the space agency's clean water technology (see below) and appearing on stage at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts for tributes to space exploration.
She also interviewed the Apollo 12 crew on national television when they served as the Grand Marshals of the 81st Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California on New Year's Day in 1970.
In recognition of her support, NASA presented Lockhart with its Exceptional Public Achievement Medal in 2013.
"I have so many friends among the astronaut group saying that watching 'Lost in Space' when they were little boys made them know what they wanted to do," she said. "It's astonishing that it inspired so many people, but it's lovely to know that."

I remember meeting her in the press center at one of the shuttle launches. Unfortunately I don't recall which launch it was.

There is a photo of June Lockhart with the Apollo 12 astronauts in this NASA article that describes her as an avid space enthusiast.
