National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

 NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded on 29th July 1958 (USA) by Dwight D. Eisenhower. NASA is an independent agency of the U.S federal government responsible for the space programs. It is in charge of US science and technology that is to do with spacecraft.








What does NASA Do?

NASA does lots of work related to space and makes satellites that help astronomers and scientists study the Earth. NASA shares all the information till discovered and discussed. NASA is studying the solar system and even farther away. NASA launched Voyager 1 which is been drifting away from the solar system and still is connected with data. The people who do not work at NASA can also use NASA ideas and make new inventions.

  




Where is NASA?

The headquarters of NASA is in Washington D.C. There is a total of 10 NASA centers in the United States of America. Being an astronaut is the best-known job to get in NASA, but they make a small part of the workforce.
