Mission specialist Ronald McNair (above) had previously worked with electronic/pop musician Jean Michel Jarre and was scheduled to perform and record a saxophone solo in space for Jarre’s then-in-production Rendez-Vous LP. This would have been the first time a piece of original music was recorded in outer space. The LP was released later in 1986. The final song “Last Rendez-Vous (Ron’s Piece)” - – the song they worked on together - – is dedicated to him.
Jean Michel Jarre (from album jacket):
“This piece was specially composed for Ron to play on his saxophone in the shuttle and was to become the first musical piece played and recorded in space. Ron was so excited about the piece that he rehearsed it continuously until the last moment. May the memory of my friend the astronaut and the artist Ron McNair live on through this piece.”
