Karl Gordon Henize
Karl Gordon Henize(), Ph.D. (17 October 1926 – 5 October 1993) was an American astronomer, space scientist, NASA astronaut, and professor at Northwestern University. He was stationed at several observatories around the world, including McCormick Observatory, Lamont-Hussey Observatory (South Africa), Mount Wilson Observatory, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Mount Stromlo Observatory (Australia). He was in the astronaut support crew for Apollo 15 and Skylab 2/3/4. As a mission specialist on the Spacelab-2 mission (STS-51-F), he flew on Space Shuttle Challenger in July/August 1985. He was awarded the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal in 1974. Nebula Henize 206 was first catalogued in the early 1950s by Dr. Henize.〔
He died in 1993, during a Mount Everest expedition. The purpose of this expedition was to test for NASA a meter called a Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter (TEPC): testing at different altitudes (17,000 ft, 19,000 ft and 21,000 ft) would reveal how people’s bodies would be affected, including the way bodily tissues behaved, when struck by radiation, and this was important for the planning of long duration space missions.〔Tom Read, Freefall, Page 224 (Little Brown, Edition 1, 1998). ISBN 0-316-64303-3.〕 Having reached Advanced Base Camp at 21,300 feet, the expedition was cut short following the death of Henize from high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) on October 5, 1993.〔Tom Read, Freefall, Pages 224-235 (Little Brown, Edition 1, 1998). ISBN 0-316-64303-3.〕〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-karl-henize-1512511.html - ''The Independent Newspaper reporting on the Death of Karl Heinze, 23 October 1993''〕〔http://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/news/releases/1993_1995/93-077.html - ''NASA: Press Release: Former Astronaut Karl Henize dies on Mt. Everest Expedition'', 8 October 1993''〕 Despite Henize's untimely death, the expedition had done its job, and when the TEPC was later analysed at NASA Headquarters, an increment was added to the human physiology database.〔http://kalpagroup.com/kalpa_genesis.html - ''"Kalpa Group - Genesis"''〕
