Olivia “Liv” Perrotto (2010–2026) was a bright American teenager with a passion for space science. She was invited by the Inspiration4 crew to witness their launch, and she designed the zero-gravity indicator for the Polaris Dawn mission. Her courage and love of the cosmos, undeterred by life's challenges, touched many lives.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 6, #2, 10), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
