A Tribute to a Space Pioneer and Scientist
On June 18, 1983, Dr. Sally Ride made history as the first American woman to travel into space aboard the space shuttle Challenger. Her groundbreaking flight captured the imagination of the nation and inspired generations of women to pursue careers in science, technology, and exploration.
Beyond her spaceflight achievements, Ride was a physicist, educator, and author, committed to advancing science education and empowering young minds—especially girls—to reach for the stars.
Design Details
Exquisitely hand-crafted in solid brass with a rhodium finish, this ornament captures the brilliance of Dr. Ride’s legacy through intricate symbolic design elements:
The space shuttle and American flag honor her historic NASA mission and national pride.
Books and swirling atomic designs reflect her work as both an author and physicist.
The circular form and soft metallic finish represent unity, curiosity, and the limitless possibilities of science.
Coin Design: 2022 American Women Quarter – Dr. Sally Ride
The reverse (tails) design of the coin depicts Dr. Sally Ride next to a window aboard the space shuttle, inspired by her quote:
“But when I wasn’t working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.”
The inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is intentionally placed over the Earth near the Americas, symbolizing her historic role as the first American woman in space.
Additional inscriptions include:
“UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “QUARTER DOLLAR,” and “DR. SALLY RIDE.”
