NANCY ROMAN

Astronomer, Nancy Roman who is referred to as the “Mother of Hubble” created NASA’s space astronomy program and was involved in the planning of the Hubble Space Telescope.

When she was eleven, Roman showed a love for astronomy by forming her own astronomy club. Nancy Roman’s build features a posable Hubble Space Telescope and even includes a projected image of a planetary nebula. We think that is super cool!

MARGARET HAMILTON

Computer scientist and entrepreneur Margaret Hamilton lead a team of soft engineers who created the onboard flight software for the Apollo lunar landing.

Margaret Hamilton’s build features a stack of books, representing the books of listings of Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) onboard flight software source code. It is based on a famous photo of the young Margaret Hamilton.

MAE JEMISON

Mae Jemison became the first woman of color to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Jemison spent over 190 hours conducting experiments, and travelled 300 million miles during her time as an astronaut.

SALLY RIDE

In 1983 Sally Ride became the first American woman in space on board the space shuttle Challenger. She was also the youngest American astronaut to travel into space, having done so at the age of 32.

Mae Jemison and Sally Ride’s build features a launchpad and Space Shuttle Challenger with 3 removable rocket stages.
