From the article:
"NASA just named a powerful new space telescope for the woman who masterminded the existence of such observatories in the first place.  

Dr. Nancy Grace Roman spent 21 years at NASA developing and launching space-based observatories that studied the Sun, deep space, and Earth's atmosphere. She most famously worked to develop the concepts behind the Hubble Space Telescope, which just spent its 30th year in orbit."
