Many of us are already familiar with the famous hidden figure Katherine Johnson!

Katherine Johnson was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. She had a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations which helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks.

Johnson's work included calculating trajectories, launch windows, and emergency return paths for the Project Mercury spaceflights.
Her calculations were also essential to the beginning of the Space Shuttle program, and she worked on plans for a mission to Mars. She is an important part of our modern day understanding of space.
