Its is with deep sadness I pass on the news that Mitch Pines has passed away. I had no prior knowledge of that Mitch was battling an aggressive cancer, so this news came as quite a shock to me this morning.
Our paths crossed many times at TARC and other East Coast NAR events, and Mitch was always willing to lend a hand and share his decades of rocketry experience. Please keep Mitchs family in your thoughts and prayers, and remember the good will he shared and continue to do so in his memory.

It is with great sadness that I am informing you That Mitchell S Pines NAR 3933 passed away yesterday from complications of pancreatic cancer. He was 64 years old. He was a professor at NYU Dental School (a professor of Dental Materials). He freely gave of his spare time to help the people of Tanzania through sponsorship from Henry Schein in bringing dental care to the poor of that country. He is survived by his mother, two brothers, two children and grandson.
Mitchell was active in the TARC program and Level III committee, even during his chemo and radiation. He participated here on Long Island actively helping the next generation of scientists engineers and rocket enthusiasts pursue their dreams and aspirations.
I first met Mitchell at NARAM-5 and subsequently joined his NAR Section (North Shore Section) one of the earliest sections after G. Harry Stine's group. The group included such famous members such as Gordon Mandell who's MIT article on the stability of rockets CG/CP is still used today even in the professional industry, Paul Hans whose company helped Aerotech get off the ground and many others.
During the first Gemini program flights he supplied NBC news with a scale model of the Gemini Titan vehicle.
Mitchell will be greatly missed
