Re: Nusat-9

Alice is in honor of Alice Ball. A black chemist who developed a treatment for leprosy.

"She graduated from Seattle High School in 1910.[4]

Ball went on to study chemistry at the University of Washington,[2][9] earning a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical chemistry in 1912 and a second bachelor's degree in the science of pharmacy two years later in 1914.[1][4] Alongside her pharmacy instructor, Williams Dehn, she published a 10-page article, "Benzoylations in Ether Solution", in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.[10] Publishing an article in a respected scientific journal was an uncommon accomplishment for a woman and especially for a Black woman at this time.[6]"

Intrasting how many satellites were launched on Nov. 6, 2020…..

Also intrasting how systemic racism kept this black woman down.

>>15007364 (me) There is another satellite that was launched on Nov. 6 - Hedy, in honor of Hedy Lamar an Austrian actress turned radio guidance inventor…. things that make you go hmmm….

"At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers.[6] Although the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s,[7] the principles of their work are incorporated into Bluetooth and GPS technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi.[8][9][10] This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.[6][11]"
