A famous photo of Annie Easley shows her standing next to a huge control panel with dials, lights and buttons from floor to ceiling. She looks like a movie character commanding a space mission. However, this is a real photo. Easley was a mathematician and rocket scientist who worked on countless NASA projects for more than 30 years. The photo was taken in 1981 in the Central Control Room of NASA's Lewis Engine Research Building in Cleveland, Ohio. Although Ms. Easley never had a movie made of her, she was a hidden figure in her own right as a barrier-breaking scientist. Overcoming Racial Segregation Easley was born in 1933 and raised by her single mother in Birmingham, Alabama. She went to college at Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Easley started off studying pharmacy. "I just thought it would be fascinating," she said in a NASA oral history interview. "Now, it may have something to do with going to the corner drugstore, where they had all of the candy and the ice cream." Easley left school and briefly returned home to Birmingham in 1945. When she first registered to vote in Alabama, she had to pay a poll tax, which was one of the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation. She also had to take a test on Alabama's history. She used her college background to help others overcome the difficult voting restrictions. Easley then married and moved with her husband to Cleveland, but there, she found out that the only pharmacy school in the area had closed. She had to look elsewhere for work. In the newspaper, she read a story about a pair of twin sisters who worked as "computers," performing mathematical computations for the engineers at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Later, NACA became NASA. The computer role sounded interesting to Easley, and she had always been good at math. So the next day she drove to NACA, at what was then called the Lewis Research Station, and applied for a job. Two weeks later, she started working there. Mathematician, Computer And Programmer Initially Easley worked as a computer. She was a well-rounded, multi-talented mathematician. So when computers (the machines) came about, she learned assembly language and programming language and became a programmer. Easley also worked on batteries and studies on battery-powered vehicles. These were similar to modern hybrid cars that use both gas engines and electric motors to run. Easley worked on shuttle launches that measured the destruction of ozone, which is a gas in the atmosphere. She also helped test and design the NASA nuclear reactor at Plum Brook. This shows the Centaur rocket lifting off. It is carrying a space probe. The probe landed on the moon in 1966.Zoom-in Image 2. In 1966, the Atlas-Centaur 10, carrying the Surveyor 1 spacecraft, lifted off. The Surveyor 1 mission scouted the lunar surface for future Apollo manned lunar landing sites. Photo: NASA Her most famous work was on the Centaur rocket. The Centaur was a first-of-its-kind rocket with a unique fuel system. A Centaur rocket powered the Surveyor 1. This was the first American space probe to land on the moon. A Centaur rocket launched the Cassini probe to Saturn. A modern version of the Centaur rocket, called the Atlas V-401 rocket, helped NASA's InSight spacecraft land on Mars. Pushing Toward Her Life Goals Easley stayed at NASA for more than 30 years, and she had "more good memories than bad." However, she was aware of the racial discrimination that she experienced. NASA photographed her and her co-workers for promotional photographs, but she was humiliated to find out that she was cut out of the all the photos. NASA denied her financial aid that they gave other employees to pay for additional college courses. They did not give her any reason for it. "Still, that is not enough to deter me from my life goals," she later said. "You keep going, because there are people who have authority, and I think sometimes they abuse it." Easley retired from NASA in December 1989. She skied, played tennis and volunteered. She worked part time in real estate, and occasionally tutored. She passed away in 2011. Reflecting on her life and the obstacles she overcame, she said, "I think of the poem, 'Mother to Son' [by Langston Hughes.] 'Life for me ain't been no crystal stair' but you got to keep struggling.
