The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), located in Greenbelt, Maryland, is one of NASA’s premier research laboratories, specializing in Earth science, astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science. Founded in 1959 and named after rocketry pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard, the center is a hub for the design, development, and operation of unmanned scientific spacecraft. Goddard has played a key role in landmark missions such as the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and numerous Earth-observing satellites. It also manages a range of satellite data systems and provides essential support for space missions across NASA’s science portfolio, helping scientists better understand our planet, the solar system, and the universe beyond.
