Judith Resnik

Judith Arlene Resnik was a Yale Law professor and an accomplished engineer and astronaut. She was the first Jewish woman to fly in space and the second American woman to do so, logging a total of 145 hours in orbit. Resnik was recognized for her intellectual abilities from a young age and was accepted at the Carnegie Institute of Technology after achieving a perfect score on the SAT exam. She earned a degree in electrical engineering from Carnegie Mellon and a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland. Her professional career included roles as an engineer at RCA, where she worked on Navy missile and radar projects; a senior systems engineer at Xerox Corporation; and a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, contributing to biomedical engineering. She was also a pilot and published research on special-purpose integrated circuitry. In her early 30s, Resnik was selected by NASA as a mission specialist and was part of the first group of NASA astronauts that included women. During her training, she developed software and operating procedures for NASA missions. Her first spaceflight was the STS-41-D mission in 1984 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, where she operated the robotic arm. Her second mission was STS-51-L in January 1986 on the Space Shuttle Challenger. Resnik died in the Challenger disaster when the shuttle broke apart shortly after liftoff.
