Astronaut Thomas Stafford, commander of Apollo 10 mission, died at the age of 93 on Monday.
Stafford commanded a dress rehearsal flight for the 1969 moon landing, Apollo 11, and the first U.S.-Soviet space linkup.
He died in a hospital near his Space Coast Florida home, said Max Ary, director of the Stafford Air & Space Museum in Weatherford, Oklahoma.
The retired Air Force three-star general took part in four space missions. Before Apollo 10, he flew on two Gemini flights, including the first rendezvous of two U.S. capsules in orbit.
Stafford was one of 24 NASA astronauts who flew to the moon, but he did not land on it. The Apollo 10 mission in May 1969 set the stage for Apollo 11'S Capsules nep historic mission two months later.
'Today General Tom Stafford went to the eternal heavens which he so courageously explored as a Gemini and Apollo astronaut as well as a peacemaker in Apollo Soyuz,' NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a post on X.
