Highlights
Boggess III was among the few remaining early pioneers of experimental ultraviolet stellar astronomy. He practiced the new field of space astronomy over four decades, from the pioneering days of early ultraviolet rocketry through his pivotal roles in the development and operation of two historic, high impact orbiting observatories, the International
