NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is the United States government agency responsible for civilian space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research. Founded in 1958, NASA leads groundbreaking missions that study Earth, the Moon, Mars, and beyond—deploying spacecraft, satellites, and telescopes such as the Hubble and James Webb to explore the cosmos. The agency pioneers human spaceflight through programs like Artemis, which aims to return astronauts to the Moon and pave the way for Mars exploration. NASA’s research also advances climate science, planetary geology, astrophysics, and cutting-edge technologies that benefit life on Earth and deepen humanity’s understanding of the universe.
