Frances "Poppy"Northcutt, mathematician aged 25 who works at the Mission

Frances " Poppy" Northcutt, mathematician aged 25 who works at the Mission Control Centre in Houston, Texas, pictured in London (returning to USA to prepare for Apollo 13 mission in six weeks (11/04)), Tuesday 24th February 1970.
Poppy Northcutt, is an integral part of the engineering team on the Apollo missions. She attended the University of Texas where she studied mathematics.
In three-and-a-half years, Northcutt graduated. Shortly afterward, she went to work for an aerospace contractor, TRW Systems, who collaborated with NASA on the Apollo Program. TRW designed and built the descent engine for the Apollo lunar lander, among other projects.
Northcutt is stationed in the Mission Controls Mission Planning and Analysis room, just down the hall from the main Mission Control Center. She is the first woman engineer to work as part of NASAs Mission Control.
Northcutt worked with the team of male engineers who designed the return-to-Earth trajectory that the Apollo 8 crew took from the moon, back to Earth. The Apollo 8 crew, become the first humans to ever orbit the moon.
Later, for her participation in helping with Apollo 13s safe return home, Northcutt was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Team Award, along with the rest of the Mission Operations Team
