Katherine Johnson

Katherine Johnson (née Creighton) was an American woman mathematician whose theories of planetary orbit mechanics were vital to the successful success of the Mercury and Gemini missions. Her contributions to spaceflight were especially noteworthy because she was the only female scientist ever appointed to work on a space mission. She also co-authored the first NASA spaceflight logbook for Mercury 7 astronauts.

Born in England, Katherine Jeanne Johnson emigrated to America with her parents and siblings. It was then that she earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and a master's degree from the University of Chicago. She was awarded a patent for a revolutionary mathematical tool that she designed and which made possible the launch of the first two American Gemini missions. On each mission, the craft was equipped with a device called the Johnson Control Method.

The main purpose of the control method was to calculate the speed and direction of spin for any spacecraft in flight by using the angular momentum and the angular velocity of the spin itself. This was crucial to keeping the craft upright and flying straight ahead in space. It was during the Gemini Project that she met and became close to her husband Neil Armstrong, the second man on the moon. He encouraged her to pursue a career in NASA's Space Program as a mathematician.

Johnson later became an integral part of the design team that helped to develop the Lunar Module. She was the project manager, who helped develop the landing gear and the lunar module itself. When the space program was shut down by President Nixon, she took a leave from NASA to become an aerospace consultant. She later formed a company called Johnson Space Institute.

Katherine's most important contribution to NASA was her role as an advocate for female scientists in general. She served as one of the organization's official spokeswomen and helped to raise money for a program that offered assistance to female scientists interested in pursuing an academic career in mathematics. She was also a member of the National Space Council.

Kathleen Johnson is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, near her family home in Texas. In 2020, President George W. Bush designated her gravesite as the official tomb of former astronauts. In fact, the name of her family tree includes the names of astronauts James Lovell and Edward M. Kennedy.

Today, it is easy to visit the Johnson family home and to take in the beautiful landscape surrounding the grave. One of the first things you will see upon your arrival is the tomb, where you can read the full obituary of Kathleen Johnson. You may also see other mementos from her life such as a photograph of her and Neil Armstrong taken aboard the moon, a plaque honoring the first two Gemini pilots and even a certificate from NASA.

In fact, many people believe that this grave was meant to honor the late Martin Luther King Jr. rather than Katherine Johnson.
