SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH, January 2021 - Loganberry Books and the International Women's Air & Space Museum (IWASM) have teamed up to host a free online event with author and astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan to celebrate the paperback release of her memoir Handprints on Hubble: An Astronaut's Story of Invention (MIT Press, 2020) at 7pm, Thursday, January 21, 2021.
In Handprints on Hubble, Dr. Kathryn Sullivan recounts her experience as part of the team that launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained the Hubble Space Telescope. Along the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby,” her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys.” (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA's storied astronaut corps.)
This event will be emceed and facilitated by Marcy Frumker, IWASM Board Member and Space Advisor and will include Dr. Sullivan reading from her memoir and an opportunity for audience questions. "Dr. Kathy Sullivan is one of the important women in aerospace that the International Women's Air & Space Museum seeks to showcase through our mission to preserve and educate the public," says Marcy Frumker.
Participants can register here for the free event.
Copies of Handprints on Hubble with exclusive bookplates signed by the author are available from Loganberry in-store and online.
