Celebrating Mary Sherman Morgan--America's first female rocket scientist--on #NationalInventorsDay!

She invented the liquid fuel Hydyne in 1957. Its most famous use came on 31 Jan 1958, when a Juno I rocket powered by Hydyne launched Explorer 1, America’s first successful satellite.

#WomenInSTEM
Split-image historical photograph honoring Mary Sherman Morgan (1921–2004), the pioneering American rocket fuel scientist and America's first female rocket scientist, who invented the high-energy liquid propellant Hydyne in 1957 at Rocketdyne (North American Aviation). Hydyne (a blend of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and diethylenetriamine) provided the critical extra thrust needed for the Jupiter-C (later renamed Juno I) rocket to successfully launch Explorer 1, the United States' first satellite, into orbit on January 31, 1958—helping the U.S. catch up in the early Space Race. On the left: A black-and-white portrait of a young Mary Sherman Morgan in the 1950s, seated at a desk in an office or lab setting. She wears cat-eye glasses, a light-colored blouse, a necklace, and a ring, smiling warmly and looking just right of the camera. She sits in front of an open book and is holding a pencil, with office equipment in the background. On the right: A dramatic color night-launch photograph of the Jupiter-C rocket (with "UE" markings visible on the body) blasting off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1958. The rocket stands tall against a dark sky, illuminated by intense flames and bright exhaust plumes at liftoff, with billowing orange-white fire and smoke at the base as it ascends, symbolizing the successful orbital insertion powered by Morgan's innovative Hydyne fuel. This pairing highlights her behind-the-scenes contributions to one of the defining moments in space history (often overlooked). #MaryShermanMorgan #Hydyne #Explorer1 #WomenInSTEM #SpaceRace #NASA #WomenInScienceDay #IDWGS

Chemist Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar in 1965. Kevlar, a lightweight, heat-resistant fiber 5X stronger than steel, is best known for its use in bulletproof vests & body armor. #WomenInSTEM

It's #NationalInventorsDay!

Fun color photograph of pioneering American chemist Stephanie Kwolek (1923–2014), the inventor of Kevlar, taken in her later years. She is indoors in what appears to be a home or lab setting with soft lighting and kitchen-like background elements. Kwolek, an older woman with short gray hair, wears large round eyeglasses, a light plaid blouse or dress with a white collar, and holds up a bright yellow circular button that reads "ASK ME ABOUT KEVLAR" in bold black lettering. On her hands she wears thick yellow Kevlar protective gloves (the very material she invented), one glove prominently displayed in the foreground as she grips the button. Her expression is gentle, proud, and welcoming, with a slight smile, embodying her lifelong dedication to science, safety, and innovation as she invites conversation about her groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized bullet-resistant vests, tires, helmets, and countless other applications.#StephanieKwolek #Kevlar #WomenInScience #Chemistry #Inventor
