Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the United States government agency responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Established in 1958, NASA conducts a wide range of missions, from space exploration and scientific research to technological advancements in aviation and space travel. Over the years, NASA has achieved significant milestones, including the Apollo moon landings, the Space Shuttle program, and the development of the International Space Station. The agency's work encompasses robotic missions to study planets, moons, and distant galaxies, as well as the study of Earth's climate and environment. NASA's contributions to science, technology, and human understanding of the universe have left an enduring impact on space exploration and global scientific collaboration.

NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.

To do that, we have worked around the world -- and off it -- for more than 50 years, searching for answers to fundamental questions about our place in the universe. We're exploring space and discovering Earth. Join us for this exciting and important journey.
