- Reinhard Alfred Furrer was a German scientist and astronaut. Furrer was born in Wörgl, Austria (then part of Germany). After the end of World War II, his father was expelled from Austria. The family found a new home in Kempten im Allgäu, Bavaria. Furrer stayed there until he joined the University of Kiel to study physics. He later transferred to the Free University of Berlin, where he received a diploma in 1969, and a doctorate in 1972. During his time as a student in Berlin, he was involved in the building of the 145 m long "Tunnel 57" below the Berlin Wall, which was the escape route of 57 people from East Berlin to the West. In 1974 he became assistant professor in Stuttgart and in 1979 qualified for full professorship. He spent time during 1980-1981 at the University of Chicago and during 1981 at the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, USA. In 1977 Furrer applied for selection as an astronaut for the first Spacelab mission. He made it into the final round of candidates, although Ulf Merbold was finally selected. In 1982, the astronauts for the first German Spacelab mission were selected from the finalists for the first mission, and Furrer was one of the two chosen. He was a payload specialist on STS-61-A (D1), which was launched October 30, 1985. The other payload specialists on the flight were Ernst Messerschmid and Wubbo Ockels. After his spaceflight he became a professor in 1987 as well as the Director of the Institute of Space Sciences at the Free University of Berlin. Furrer was an avid pilot. He earned his pilot license in 1974, doing several long distance trips with one engine planes - including a flight over the inland ice of Greenland in 1979 and a solo flight from Germany to Quito, Ecuador in 1981. His love for planes finally cost him his life, as he died in a plane crash during a flight show on the Johannisthal Air Field (Berlin). He was a passenger on a flight of the historic Bf 108 after the end of the official flight show when the pilot Gerd Kahdemann lost control of the plane shortly after 6:00 p. m Both he and Furrer were killed immediately.

- Reinhard Alfred Furrer, född 25 november 1940 i Wörgl, Österrike, död 9 september 1995 i Berlin, var en tysk astronaut. Efter Andra världskriget var Furrers familj tvungen att flytta till Tyskland där de fick ett hem i Kempten (Allgäu). Furrer började studera fysik i Kiel och vid Freie Universität Berlin. Under studietiden hjälpte han personer från Östberlin att fly till stadens västra del. Till exempel konstruerade han enligt uppgifter från museet om Berlinmuren en vagn för transport av jordmassor ur en tunnel. Furrer fick 1969 sitt diplom och 1972 blev han doktor. Efter en tid i Stuttgart gjorde Furrer 1979 sin habilitation och sedan var han två år i USA vid Argonne National Laboratory i Chicago. Redan 1977 ansökte han om anställning vid tyska centret för luft- och rymdfart som sökte en astronaut för expeditionen med Spacelab. Vid den första flygningen med modulen var hans kollega Ulf Merbold med, men Furrer blev nominerad för den andra missionen med Spacelab tillsammans med tysken Ernst Messerschmid, nederländaren Wubbo Ockels och amerikanerna Henry Hartsfield, Steven Nagel, Bonnie Dunbar, James Buchli och Guion Bluford. Furrers uppgifter var huvudsakligen fysikaliska experiment. Efter rymdresan blev Furrer 1987 professor och direktor för Institutet för rymdforskning vis Freie Universität Berlin. Furrer var även engagerad som sportpilot. Han fick sin licens 1974 och gjorde bland annat en resa över Grönlands inlandsis och ett enmansflyg från Tyskland till Quito i Ecuador. Efter 1986 var han president åt Aircraft Owner and Pilot Association i Tyskland. Den 9 september 1995 deltog Furrer i en flygshow vid flygplatsen Johannisthal i Berlin. Vid en konstflygmanöver gick något snett och planet havererade. Furrer och hans kollega Gerd Kahdemann dog på platsen.
