Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton helped get the Apollo 11 astronauts to the Moon. She led the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, the team responsible for developing the guidance and navigation system for the Apollo spacecraft. In addition to writing the code that brought astronauts into space and safely back home again, Hamilton’s leadership and work formed the bedrock of software engineering as a whole. In this now-iconic photo, Hamilton stands next to listings of the Apollo Guidance Computer source code. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomensHistory #WHM #SmithsonianWHM #BecauseOfHerStory #Apollo11 #WomenInSpace
