In Memoriam: Jeff Bingham
Jeffrey Marvin Bingham of Round Hill, Virginia, passed away on May 16, 2024, in Orem, Utah, after a battle with cancer. Jeff was a beloved mentor and friend, known for his contributions to the space community through his work with the U.S. Senate, NASANational Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Virginia’s Commercial Space Flight Authority. During his career, he served as legislative coordinator for the ISSInternational Space Station program and managed the Space Station Information Center (“War Room”). However, one of Jeff’s most important contributions was the critical role he played in establishing the ISS National Lab. He was a passionate advocate for use of the ISS as a one-of-a-kind research platform in space to benefit people on Earth, and our entire team mourns his loss. We are forever grateful for his tireless efforts to ensure the success of the ISS National Lab and proudly carry on his legacy through our incredible mission.
