Katherine Johnson
Creola Katherine Johnson, nata Coleman, conosciuta anche come Katherine Goble (White Sulphur Springs, 26 agosto 1918 – Newport News, 24 febbraio 2020), è stata una matematica, informatica e fisica statunitense. Contribuì allo sviluppo dell'aeronautica statunitense e ai programmi spaziali, già dal primo utilizzo dei computer elettronici digitali da parte della NASA. Venne molto apprezzata per l'accuratezza che poneva nel calcolo della navigazione spaziale computerizzata e per il lavoro tecnico dirigenziale pluridecennale svolto alla NACA, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics poi NASA: dal calcolo delle traiettorie delle orbite, paraboliche e iperboliche, delle finestre di lancio e dei percorsi di ritorno di emergenza per molti voli, al Project Mercury, incluse le prime missioni NASA di John Glenn, Alan Shepard, le manovre di inserzione translunare e conseguenti traiettorie di trasferimento verso la Luna nei voli lunari del programma Apollo, continuando con il lavoro sul programma dello Space Shuttle, infine con la progettazione dei primi piani per la missione su Marte. Nel 2015 il presidente Barack Obama le conferì la Medaglia presidenziale della libertà. Leggi di più su Wikipedia
