The Google Doodle for today celebrates aeronautical engineer Mary G. Ross, who worked at Lockheed SkunkWorks and also on the Agena, among other programs. Look her up.
In 1952, she joined Lockheed's Advanced Development Program at the then-secret Skunk Works, where she worked on "preliminary design concepts for interplanetary space travel, manned and unmanned earth-orbiting flights, the earliest studies of orbiting satellites for both defense and civilian purposes." She worked on the Agena rocket project, and on preliminary design concepts for "flyby missions to Venus and Mars."
