Annie and John Glenn arrive at the Mission Control Center for the Gemini IV launch on June 4, 1965. John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn’s wife Annie, who passed away May 19, 2020, was an advocate for people with disabilities, having overcome her own communications disorder to become an adjunct professor at Ohio State’s Speech Pathology Department. The couple, who were high school sweethearts, were married in 1943 until John Glenn’s death in 2016. Read the press release on Mrs. Glenn’s passing: NASA Remembers Annie Glenn.

Nancy Grace Roman (1925-2018), NASA’s first chief astronomer, is known as the ‘Mother of Hubble.’ In a time when women were discouraged from studying math and science, Roman became a research astronomer and was instrumental in taking NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope from an idea to reality and establishing NASA’s program of space-based astronomical observatories. In this image from the early 1970s, Dr. Roman is shown at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Blooming roses at the Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) highlight the Bell X-IE aircraft mounted in front of the main building at the center. The X-1E was one of the first supersonic aircraft and was the last of the X-1 series of aircraft. It was last flown in November 1958 and now resides at the center. The aircraft was developed by NASA’s predecessor, the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics. AFRC, formerly known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, has a long history of aeronautical research. AFRC has developed and operates some of the most advanced aircraft in the world and is known for many aviation firsts, including critical support for the first crewed airplane to exceed the speed of sound and the first digital fly-by-wire…

It’s #TeacherAppreciationWeek and teachers and space travel go hand-in-hand. Teacher-turned-astronaut Joe Acaba taught one year of high school science at Melbourne High School, Florida, and four years of middle school math and science at Dunnellon Middle School, Florida. As an astronaut, Acaba has logged a total of 306 days in space on three flights, first as a mission specialist on the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-119 mission and twice aboard the International Space Station. In this image, Acaba reads to students from aboard the International Space Station during Expedition 53/54 (September 13 – February 28, 2018). Image Credit: NASA #TeacherAppreciationWeek（谢师周）与老师和太空旅行齐头并进。 曾当过教师的宇航员乔·阿卡巴(Joe Acaba)在佛罗里达州墨尔本高中(Melbourne high school)教了一年高中科学，在佛罗里达州邓尼伦中学(Dunnellon middle school)教了四年初中数学和科学。 作为一名宇航员，阿卡巴已经进行了3次太空飞行，总共306天，第一次是作为发现号航天飞机STS-119任务的任务专家，第二次是在国际空间站。 在这张图片中，阿卡巴（Acaba）在第53/54号探险队（2018年9月13日至2月28日）期间向国际空间站上的学生朗读。 图片来源：NASA

Apollo 13 launched on April 11, 1970, on a journey to become the third crew to land on the Moon. The crew never made it. The mission became known as “a successful failure” that saw the safe return of its crew in spite of a catastrophic explosion. This artist’s concept—by Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical, San Diego, California—shows two Apollo 13 astronauts exploring the surface of the Moon. In the center background is the Apollo 13 Lunar Module in the rugged highlands just north of Fra Mauro. Fifty years later, NASA is sharing a variety of resources, recognizing the triumph of the mission control team and the astronauts and looking at how those lessons can be applied to the Artemis program.

In March 2017 during her eighth spacewalk, Peggy Whitson broke the spacewalking record for female astronauts. Whitson also was once the recordholder for amount of time in space by a female astronaut. In this video, she congratulated the new recordholder Christina Koch. In this image, Whitson works outside the station in Jan. 2017. Whitson has commanded the International Space Station (twice!), holds a doctorate in biochemistry, has received the NASA Space Flight Medal and served as the Chief Astronaut. Yet, she too was once another applicant to become an astronaut. Be like Peggy Whitson. Apply today! The deadline is today, March 31 at 11:59 p.m Eastern. #BeAnAstronaut Image Credit: NASA 2017年3月，佩吉·惠特森在她的第八次太空行走中，打破了女宇航员的太空行走记录。惠特森还曾是女宇航员在太空中停留时间的纪录保持者。在这段视频中，她祝贺了新纪录保持者克里斯蒂娜·科赫。在这张图片中，惠特森于2017年1月在空间站外工作。 惠特森指挥过国际空间站(两次!)，拥有生物化学博士学位，获得过美国国家航空航天局太空飞行奖章，并担任过首席宇航员。 然而，她也曾经是另一个成为宇航员计划的申请人。 想像佩吉·惠特森一样吗？ 立即申请！截止日期是今天3月31日，美国东部时间下午11:59。 # BeAnAstronaut 图片来源:美国国家航空航天局

Michelle Lynde is an aerospace engineer who conducts aerodynamic analysis of configurations using Computational Fluid Dynamics tools, wind tunnel experiments and flight tests. Like other women at NASA, she makes history every day by contributing to groundbreaking missions and projects in the areas of space, science and aeronautics. Women at the agency are dedicated to inspiring the next generation of explorers to break new boundaries. Lynde’s work at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, mainly focuses on aircraft design methods to improve aerodynamic performance. As an early-career professional, she’s already helped develop a new computationally-based design method to reshape aircraft wings to enable natural laminar flow technology on typical commercial aircraft. 米歇尔·林德(Michelle Lynde)是一名航空航天工程师，她使用计算流体动力学工具、风洞实验和飞行测试进行配置的空气动力学分析。和美国国家航空航天局的其他女性一样，她每天都在为太空、科学和航空领域的开创性任务和项目做出贡献，创造历史。该机构的女性致力于激励下一代探险家打破新的界限。 林德在美国国家航空航天局位于弗吉尼亚州汉普顿的兰利研究中心的工作主要集中在飞机设计方法上，以提高空气动力学性能。作为一名职业生涯早期的专业人士，她已经帮助开发了一种新的基于计算的设计方法，以重塑飞机机翼，使自然层流技术应用于典型的商用飞机。

Former astronaut Al Worden, command module pilot on the Apollo 15 lunar landing, passed away March 18, 2020, in Texas.​ As command module pilot, Worden stayed in orbit while commander David Scott and lunar module pilot Jim Irwin explored the Moon’s Hadley Rille and Appennine Mountains. Apollo 15’s command module, dubbed Endeavour, was the first to have its own module of scientific instruments. During the flight back from the Moon, Worden made three spacewalks to retrieve film from cameras in the module. Altogether, Worden logged more than 295 hours in space. In this image, Worden relaxes in the life raft while awaiting a helicopter pickup after the successful splashdown of the Apollo 15 spacecraft. Worden was born Feb. 7, 1932, in Jackson, Michigan. He was…
