Brief introduction of NASA

[Edit this paragraph]

The full name of NASA is National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which is the largest civil space agency in the world. 1 9581October1NASA was formally established. Headquartered in Washington, DC. NASA's vision is to "improve life here, prolong life there, and find other lives farther away". The goal of NASA is to "understand and protect the planet we live in; Explore the universe and find life outside the earth; Enlighten our next generation to explore the universe. " In addition to the space program, NASA also conducts long-term civil and military aerospace research. NASA is widely regarded as the leader of space agencies in the world. At that time, according to the president's executive order, all non-military rocket and space programs under the Ministry of National Defense were incorporated into NASA, including the ongoing Pioneer Program and Explorer Program, as well as all scientific satellite programs in the United States. Three laboratories of the former National Aviation Advisory Committee (NACA): Langley Research Laboratory, Lewis Research Laboratory and Ames Research Laboratory were merged into NASA and renamed Langley Research Center, Lewis Research Center and Ames Research Center. The flight laboratory at Edward Air Force Base was renamed as the Flight Research Center, and the naval research laboratory related to Pioneer Project was partially assigned to NASA. The Goddard Space Flight Research Center was established in Maryland. 1In June, 960, he took over the Army Ballistic Missile Bureau led by Wernher wernher von braun, and established the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville to be responsible for the research plan of large launch vehicles. Later, NASA also adjusted and established Kennedy Space Center, Johnson Space Center and Spacecraft Center. Today, NASA has become the pioneer of all space flight and human space exploration in the world.

research subject

[Edit this paragraph]

1957 A few days after the launch of the first artificial earth satellite in the Soviet Union, the United States established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which played an important role in the development of American space industry. NASA has a wide range of research topics, mainly aerospace. The research topics in aviation mainly include supersonic technology and aircraft energy-saving technology. In aerospace, we mainly cooperate with several large-scale projects, such as Apollo program, Sky Lab and Space Shuttle. It maintains close relations with research institutions, universities and industrial enterprises of the Ministry of National Defense through scientific research projects, contracts and plans. It has more than a dozen research centers and laboratories, such as Goddard Space Center, Kennedy Space Center and Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But more than 80% of scientific research work is entrusted to all units outside the bureau. The research results are published in the form of NASA publications. Publications include technical reports, technical descriptions, contract user reports, technical memoranda, technical translations, special publications, etc.

At present, NASA's annual budget is $654.38+0.6 billion, and its headquarters is located in Washington, D.C. ... In addition to its space program, NASA also conducts long-term civil and military aerospace research. NASA is widely regarded as the leader of space agencies in the world.
