Original: Margaret Hamilton has died
Margaret Hamilton, the computer scientist who led development of the onboard flight software for NASA's Apollo missions and helped define the field of software engineering, has died, according to an announcement by MIT. She is widely remembered for her work at MIT's Instrumentation Laboratory on the Apollo guidance computer, including the software credited with helping Apollo 11 land safely, and later for founding Hamilton Technologies.
Why now: The death of a pioneering figure central to the Apollo program's success naturally prompts widespread tributes and reflection on her legacy.
