the reason for this is because the eisenhower administration had not given them the go ahead to launch a satellite. you can imagine how frustrated they were less than a month later when the soviet union launches sputnik on october 4, 1957. in fact, the women i talked to are still angry about this. it's very frustrating. because they know given the opportunity they could have launched before them. it actually isn't until a second sputnik is launched that eisenhower finally gives the group the go ahead. so on december 31, 1958, the group at jpl assembles to launch explorer 1. now, there are many women who are part of this launch, but none is more important than a woman named barbara paulson. on this evening she is the one responsible for calculating the trajectory of the satellite as it leaves earth. to do this, she is sitting at a light table with paper and pencil. remember, she's doing this all by hand. standing over her shoulder are richard fineman, the famous physicist, and lee dubridge, who is then president of cal tech, and everyone in the room is waiting on her calculations to fin
