Mattel, the creators of Barbie, are known for releasing new dolls honour of certain celebrities - and this time it's the turn of space expert Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

She's set to get a Barbie Role Model doll made ahead of International Women's Day on 8 March and British Science Week from 10-19 March.

Dr Maggie is a British female scientist who you might have seen before on Newsround.

She also presents ´óÏó´«Ã½ One's The Sky at Night and Mini Stargazing for CBeebies.

The Barbie doll is being created in her likeness, in recognition of her achievements in making space and science fascinating and accessible to girls.

Her Barbie will wear a starry dress to remind everyone of her job - looking at the night sky - and will also have a telescope for stargazing!

It sounds like Dr Maggie is thrilled to getting her very special Barbie.

She said: "When I was little, Barbie didn't look like me, so to have one created in my likeness is mind-boggling. It's such an honour to receive this doll that is celebrating my achievements. My daughter and I danced around the living room when we heard!!"

She added: "Since falling in love with the idea of space travel as a young girl, I have spent my career trying to show girls how fascinating Space science can be. I hope my doll will remind girls that when you reach for the stars, anything is possible."
