Marjorie has a paragraph with more info describing her work here: https://t.co/e4tM92e3Bq

[Louisiana Space Grant & NASA EPSCoR Programs @LaSPACEGrant]

Electrical engineer Marjorie Townsend was NASA's ⭐️first⭐️ female project manager for a spacecraft.

#LaSPACE #NASA #WomenInSTEMCrushWednesday #WomenInSTEM #WomanCrushWednesday

[NASA History Office @NASAhistory]

While Uhuru played a groundbreaking role in x-ray astronomy, electrical engineer Marjorie Townsend, seen here on the left next to the Uhuru spacecraft at @NASAGoddard in 1970, also broke new ground: she was NASA's first female project manager for a spacecraft. #WomenInSTEM 🛰️ 💯

[Louisiana Space Grant & NASA EPSCoR Programs @LaSPACEGrant]

In 1973, Townsend was 1 of 6 women to win the Federal Woman’s Award, a nationwide award to give public recognition to women in federal careers, attract attention to their work, & help recruit women to the govt sector. 💪

Your Saturday plans have been decided! 😎🚀

#NASA #Artemis

[NASA @NASA]

Watch #Artemis I launch to the Moon! The broadcast will begin Saturday, Sept. 3, at 12:15pm ET (16:15 UTC) on our Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Daily Motion and https://t.co/ieGQx2G190.

[Louisiana Space Grant & NASA EPSCoR Programs @LaSPACEGrant]

Relatable Monday issues (😅):

The Artemis I launch has been scrubbed after #NASA engineers were unable to cool Engine 3.

The agency has back-up launch dates scheduled for Sept. 2 and Sept. 5, although whether the issues will be resolved before then is yet unknown.

[Louisiana Space Grant & NASA EPSCoR Programs @LaSPACEGrant]

Best way to start off a Monday, right?! 🤩🚀🌕

#NASA #Artemis

[NASA @NASA]

LIVE NOW: The #Artemis era of exploration begins today with @NASAArtemis I, the first flight test of the rocket and spacecraft that will take humanity to the Moon. The launch window opens at 8:33am ET (12:33 UTC). https://t.co/mFyoeRMC6q

Astronauts got jokes 😂

#NationalTellAJokeDay

[NASA History Office @NASAhistory]

#OTD in 1973, the Skylab 3 crew left a joke to be discovered by the Skylab 4 crew—test dummies wearing the incoming crew's name tags! Dummy astronauts Carr and Pogue were "conducting research," while dummy Gibson stayed in the waste compartment. 😆 #NationalTellAJokeDay
