#TechHistory: On 18 May 1969, #Apollo 10 launched from #NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, completing the first flight of a complete, crewed Apollo #spacecraft to orbit the moon. The demonstrated success in space flight during Apollo 10’s mission was a key factor contributing to Apollo 11’s victorious moon landing two months later. #IEEE recognizes the electronic technology behind space #rocket launches as an IEEE Milestone.

Nanotech #scientist Jackie Y. Ying received her PhD in Chemical Engineering from Princeton in 1988.
