Celebrating Black History Month

In recognition of Black History Month, Space Center Houston celebrates the African-American mathematicians, engineers, scientists, administrators, and astronauts who have contributed to the success of our nation’s human spaceflight programs.

From NASA’s hidden figures to the promise of landing the first person of color on the lunar surface with Artemis, African-Americans have a rich history in human space exploration – past, present, and future.

In honor of Black History Month, we created a gallery featuring some of these African-American trailblazers below:
