A Modern-Day Pioneer

An excerpt from the Undefeated -

This Johns Hopkins grad is the modern-day Katherine Johnson
25-year-old engineer Ariel Bowers is forging her own path just like the NASA ‘hidden figure’
BY ANGELA TUCK

John Hopkins graduate Ariel Bowers spends her days testing software for the James Webb Space Telescope, a state-of-the-art NASA telescope that will be launched into space next year.


The Baltimore native has been peering into the night sky in search of stars and constellations since she was a little girl. At 25, she’s a modern-day Katherine Johnson, the NASA scientist portrayed in the award-winning movie Hidden Figures.

Bowers is an integration and test engineer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. She is the lead engineer in testing the telescope’s data management subsystem.
