The National Aeronautics and Space Administration

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a U.S. government agency that is responsible for science and technology related to air and space. NASA was formally established on October 1st, 1958 after the abolishment of its predecessor The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). NASA was created as a response to the Soviet Union's launch of the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, which began The Space Age.

Since then, NASA has made major contributions to science and technology and is known for its great achievements. Such as putting the first man on the Moon, the International Space Station, and the Hubble Space Telescope. These cutting-edge technologies and achievements have helped us understand our planet and the universe around us a lot better. They allow us to explore and address our innate curiosity for the heavens and our place in the universe.
