WOMEN IN STEM/SPACE

Thirty-five years ago, a group of entrepreneurs and scientists founded the SETI Institute – the first scientific institute dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life in the universe. We’re excited to commemorate this anniversary. We invited SETI Institute co-founder Jill Tarter and 2018 Drake Award Recipient Vikki Meadows to discuss the challenges and possible future strategies for the detection of life. Initiated by Jill Tarter in 1990s, Project Phoenix marked the first systematic search for technosignatures. Today, the Allen Telescope Array and Laser SETI are driving our technosignature search. The discovery that exoplanets are common has radically changed our view of the universe. The likelihood that there are habitable worlds elsewhere in the universe seems more plausible than ever before. Astronomers, including Vikki Meadows, are developing new instruments to help search for life on other planets. By analyzing data from exoplanets and identifying biosignatures, we will be able to search for habitable planets and the presence of life. Which approach will discover the first evidence of extraterrestrial life? Will technosignatures or biosignatures confirm our hypothesis that life exists outside our watery, shimmering planet and that, indeed, we are not alone? Molly Bentley, the co-host and producer of the radio program and podcast, Big Picture Science, will be the moderator.

Paige didn’t have a lot of women role models for engineering when she was growing up. Now she wants to provide that for girls interested in STEM. Watch her discuss her passion for getting the next generation of girls interested in engineering careers. To be a part of our mission, visit www.northropgrumman.com/careers #NorthropGrumman

Aug. 26, 2019 marks the 101st birthday of no longer hidden figure Katherine Johnson. 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.

NASA joins organizations across the world to celebrate Women’s Equality Day on August 26. The date was selected to celebrate the Women’s Suffrage Movement’s greatest victory—women’s achievement of full voting rights following the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. The Women’s Equality Day observance not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also represents women’s continuing efforts toward full equality.

ESA is the European Space Agency, composed of 22 Member States. Its mission is to develop space missions and to carry them out. The objective of these top-class programmes is to learn more about Earth, its near-spatial environment, our Solar System and the Universe. Our missions also help to conceive state-of-the-art technologies and satellite services, as well as promoting European industry. So that space discoveries benefit the whole of humankind, ESA works in cooperation with other space organisations beyond Europe. ESA also wants to share the knowledge of space and its everyday applications with everyone and invite you to share in the conversation. That’s why ESA initiated the My Space Dream contest: to hear the dreams and expectations of European space programmes so we can work on them every day. The videos will help to shape ESA for the space19+ ministerial meeting. This is my entry for the contest. Make sure you get yours in too at: https://www.myspacedream.com for a chance to train as an esa astronaut for the day!

I did not believe this image was real when I first saw it. It looks so weird! It's not a spiral galaxy though, it's a star in our own Milky Way galaxy.

Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, speaking from the European Astronaut Centre near Cologne in Germany, has a message of thanks to all those who’ve entered our Lunar 3D printing competition so far. A new lunar analogue test facility, called Luna for short, is currently being set up at EAC to test the technologies and techniques needed for any future Moon base – with 3D printing high on the list. And a team ESA’s technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, is overseeing a project to research in detail how 3D printing could be used in such a Moon base. We’re also interested in the human factor: what would you 3D print to make the Moon feel like home? That’s why we’re crowdsourcing your ideas through this competition.

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

What do they love about their work? What do they want their legacy to be? Watch our Women at Glenn: 60 Seconds for the 60th video series to hear their inspiring stories.

American pilot Jerrie Cobb hoped to be "the first Western woman in space," according to an interview she gave to CBC's Take 30 back in September 1963. And as Cobb explains, she saw no reason that women couldn't take part in space exploration. Note: This aired on Sept. 16, 1963.

As the US space program ramped up in the 1950s and 1960s, female pilots underwent testing and training as part of a program led by Dr. Randy Lovelace, who was in charge of medical evaluations for male astronauts and believed strongly that females should also be involved in space flight. Thirteen women, including Sarah Gorelick Ratley (main, in helmet, and inset, in the film) made the cut and often did better than the men - but the privately-funded program was axed before the women could complete the training. Undeterred, they took their case to Congress - and those Congressional hearings (bottom right) marked 'one of the first moments in the burgeoning women's movement,' says David Sington, who directed Mercury 13, a new Netflix documentary chronicling the pilots' experience. Testimony from John Glenn, however - as well as famed female pilot Jacqueline Cochran, who had unsuccessfully lobbied to become an astronaut herself - claimed that women had no place in space and the program remained closed. Many of the Mercury 13 were crushed and shocked at the lack of support from Cochran.

Did you know some extraordinary women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math feel invisible in their fields? This Talk explores what it means to be a female hidden figure in STEM and what one can do to change it. Alexis M. Scott is a Triple E: Educator, Entrepreneur and Engineer. She founded AMS Academic Solutions to share her gift of numbers and education that she has possessed since an early age. Alexis has been teaching mathematics for over 20 years, including 18 years as a college professor. She published one book in 2017 called "Embracing STEM Smarts: An Encouraging Guide for Young Ladies to be Bold in Their Intelligence." Alexis will have two books coming out later this year involving her work in STEM. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

When they were growing up, six women couldn’t have imagined that their lives would take them on a journey to NASA to work with the Hubble Space Telescope. From astronaut to social media lead, from scientists to engineers, these featured "Women of Hubble" overcame obstacles and persevered to achieve success and help make Hubble one of the greatest exploration machines in human history. Their inspirational stories teach us that anyone can succeed if you stay curious, never give up, and don’t let anything keep you from reaching your goals.
