If you are including only women who are astronauts, then both Kalpana Chawla and Laurel Clark are on that list. Both died during the disintegration of the Columbia.

If you are including women who died in space, or as part of a NASA mission in space, then you should also include Christa McAuliffe.

I hesitate to use the phrase "natural causes" because it seems to me that burning up during re-entry or plummeting a great distance could be ascribed to "natural causes".

I presume however that without further verbiage, you understand the distinction and my intention.
