Katherine Johnson Bronze Medal – Honoring a Spaceflight Pioneer
This commemorative bronze medal celebrates the legacy of Katherine Johnson, the groundbreaking American mathematician whose precise calculations were vital to NASA’s early crewed space missions, including the Apollo program.
A Legacy Written in Numbers
As one of the brilliant minds behind NASA's orbital mechanics team, Johnson’s work ensured the safe flight paths, launch windows, and re-entry trajectories that made history—from John Glenn’s orbital flight to the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Her career shattered barriers for both women and African Americans in science and technology.
Obverse (Front):
Features a portrait of Katherine Johnson set against a background of mathematical equations used in trajectory analysis and orbital computation. The design highlights the intellect and precision that defined her career. The inscription reads:
“KATHERINE JOHNSON.”
Reverse (Back):
Illustrates a chalkboard-style diagram of the Apollo 11 lunar module’s rendezvous with the command and service module in lunar orbit—a critical moment Johnson’s calculations helped make possible. Inscriptions include:
“Calculating the Orbital Flights for the Apollo Space Program”
“Rendezvous”
“Lunar Liftoff”
“Earth”
“Act of Congress 2019”
This medal serves as a tribute to Katherine Johnson’s enduring impact on space exploration and her powerful example of excellence, resilience, and innovation in the face of adversity.
