In recognition of her award-winning work as a mathematician and computer scientist, NASA honored Melba Mouton by naming a lunar mountain Mons Mouton.⁣ ⁣ Mouton helped land the first humans on the Moon during the Apollo era. During her 14 years at NASA, she ascended to assistant chief of research programs for the Trajectory and Geodynamics Division at NASAGoddard, which tracked and calculated spacecraft locations and trajectories.⁣ ⁣ About the size of Delaware, Mons Mouton is the tallest peak on the lunar south pole. The mountain will be the landing spot for the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), our solar-powered rover that will search for water ice trapped in permanent darkness on the surface of the Moon. Mons Mouton is also a potential landing region for #Artemis III.⁣ ⁣ Image description: A black and white photo shows Melba Mouton wearing a shirt, necklace, and glasses.
