    "Before GPS became an everyday utility, it was a hard mathematical problem.
    In 1950s–70s, Gladys West - mathematician @ U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, VA - worked on one of the most difficult challenges in satellite navigation: accurately modeling the Earth itself.
    Modern GPS accuracy depends on:
    • Precise satellite ephemerides
    • Accurate gravitational field modeling
    • Correct Earth reference frames
    West’s work directly advanced all three
    Her contributions weren’t widely recognized; it wasn’t until 2018 that she was inducted into the USAF Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame - decades after GPS reshaped global navigation, logistics, finance, defense & mobile computing...
    Before GPS could tell us where we are, someone had to define what the Earth actually looks like mathematically…”
