Also flying: radiation detectors intended for NASA's astronaut moon-landing program, and a new system to convert more of the astronauts' urine into drinking water. The capsule also holds 120,000 tiny roundworms for a muscle experiment, as well as off-the-shelf computer equipment to increase data processing speed at the space station. Noguchi and his six US And Russian crewmates can expect more apples once the Cygnus arrives, along with tomatoes, nuts, smoked salmon, Parmesan and cheddar cheeses, caramels, and coconut strips. He noted that the space station flew over Virginia just 10 minutes ahead of Sunday's launch. ''Oh, we love fresh food!!!'' tweeted Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi. A Russian capsule pulled up Wednesday with apples and oranges, among other things. Katherine Johnson (born 1918) Johnson showed early brilliance in West Virginia schools by being promoted several years ahead of her age, according to NASA. This will be the space station's second delivery in less than a week.
She was instrumental in John Glenns first orbit of the Earth and worked for the space program for 33 years. Johnson was a human 'computer,' using math to calculate launch angles and trajectories for the early NASA spaceflights. The Antares rocket was visible from the Carolinas to Connecticut, at least where skies were clear. This month, we are highlighting NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, who was instrumental to the early success of NASA. Northrop Grumman launched the 4-ton shipment for NASA in the early afternoon from Wallops, where temperatures were just above freezing. KATHERINE JOHNSON Bio Mathematician and computer scientist Katherine Johnson was born in 1918 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Langley is 100 miles (160 kilometers) from the launch site at Wallops Island. The film, released in late 2016, depicted the effort put forth by Johnson and other Black women at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, during the early days of space exploration. Johnson's numbers contributed to the February 20, 1962, flight in which Glenn became the first American to orbit the world.
JOHN GLENN AND KATHERINE JOHNSON NASA MOVIE
We will continue building on her legacy and work tirelessly to increase opportunities for everyone who has something to contribute toward the ongoing work of raising the bar of human potential," NASA said in a statement.''A homework assignment for all of you is to go watch that movie after the Cygnus launch.'' "At NASA we will never forget her courage and leadership and the milestones we could not have reached without her. Now brought to light, Johnson's legacy won't be forgotten and will hopefully lead to recognition for other black women too-long overlooked due to racism and sexism. For many, Margot Lee Shetterly's novel Hidden Figures, and the subsequent film, was the first introduction to Johnson. Johnson retired in 1986 after 33 years at Langley, and in 2015, President Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor. She went on to author and co-author a total of 26 research reports. In 1960, she co-authored a report laying out the equations for orbital space flight, marking the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division received credit as an author of a research report. Johnson was also a prolific research author.
