Hidden Figures Bronze Medal – Celebrating the Women Who Powered America's Space Program
This commemorative medal honors the remarkable women whose behind-the-scenes work helped propel America into space. Their intellect and dedication were instrumental in landmark achievements—most notably the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit—a mission that boosted national morale and shifted the Space Race in the United States’ favor.
Obverse (Front):
A group of silhouetted women stand united, watching as Apollo 11 delivers the first astronauts to the Moon. These figures symbolically represent the many unsung women—especially women of color—who served as mathematicians, engineers, and technical experts. Working from the 1930s through the 1970s for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (later NASA), their contributions were critical yet often unrecognized. The use of silhouettes reflects the “hidden” nature of their essential roles.
Reverse (Back):
The constellation Andromeda is featured, a reference to both the vastness of space and the challenges faced by the women being honored. Known in mythology as “the Chained Woman,” Andromeda symbolizes the racial and gender barriers these pioneers overcame. The inscriptions read “Hidden Figures” and “Act of Congress 2019,” recognizing their legacy through official congressional tribute.
This medal is a powerful tribute to the ingenuity, perseverance, and quiet heroism of the women who helped launch a new era of space exploration.
