'''Reuven Ramaty''' ([[1937]] - [[2001]]) was a pioneer in the fields of [[solar physics]], [[gamma-ray astronomy]], [[nuclear astrophysics]], and [[cosmic rays]]. He was a [[HESSI]] Co-Investigator and one of the founding members of the HESSI team. His active involvement and enthusiastic support were critical for HESSI’s selection by [[NASA]] as the sixth [[Small Explorer]] ([[SMEX]]) mission. Following the launch on [[5 February]] [[2002]], HESSI was renamed in his honor. It became the [[Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager]] (RHESSI), the first space mission named after a NASA scientist.
