Dr. Nancy Grace Roman was NASA’s first female executive.  A scientist of international repute, she joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1954 and then NASA soon after its inception – the date pinpointed by the wirephoto.  As the agency’s first Chief of Astronomy she proposed deep-space astronomical observations using a space-based telescope and later played a key role in creation and launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, which she envisioned in the 1967 anthology. She affectionately became known as the “Mother of Hubble.” After her death in 2018, NASA proposed that a new Space Telescope with a wide field of view 100 times larger than that of the Hubble should be named in her memory.

Moderate wear to the 1967 booklet; very good overall.
