On Aug. 26, as part of NASA’s celebration of Katherine Johnson’s 100th birthday, agency employees received a special message from administrator Jim Bridenstine to mark the occasion. With slide rules and pencils, Katherine, a legendary NASA mathematician – and the other human computers who worked at the agency – helped our nation’s space program get off the ground, but it was their confidence, bravery and commitment to excellence that broke down racial and social barriers that continue to inspire to this day.

In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Katherine Johnson was called upon to hand check the computer’s orbital equations that would control the trajectory of the capsule in John Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission, from blast off to splashdown. “If she says they’re good,’” Katherine Johnson remembers the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space. NASA wishes Katherine Johnson a very Happy 100th Birthday. To learn more about Katherine and other trailblazing ‘human computers,’ visit: https://www.nasa.gov/modernfigures

On Sept. 22, the new Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility was officially opened at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. Johnson, who is now 99 years old, worked as a "human computer" at Langley in the 1960’s, calculating trajectories for America's first spaceflights. The new 37,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility will be used for innovative research and development in support of our air mobility and space exploration missions.

Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility' will be named in honour of the woman whose life story was featured in the movie "Hidden Figures".
