Ilan Ramon (June 20, 1954 - February 1, 2003; Hebrew: אילן רמון‎) was a fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force, and later the first Israeli astronaut. Ramon was the space shuttle payload specialist of STS-107, the fatal mission of Columbia, where he and six other crew members were killed in a re-entry accident over southern Texas. Ilan Ramon is the only foreign recipient of the United States Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
His eldest son, Captain Assaf Ramon, was killed on September 13, 2009, aged 21, during a routine training flight while piloting his F-16A, 3 months after graduating from the IAF flight school with the Sword of Honor as the top cadet in his graduating class.
