Introduction:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducts research for the solution of problems of flight within and outside the Earth’s atmosphere and develops, constructs, tests and operates aeronautical and space vehicles. It conducts activities required for the exploration of space with manned and unmanned vehicles and arranges for the most effective utilization of the scientific and engineering resources of the United States with other nations engaged in aeronautical and space activities for peaceful purposes.
NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (42 U.S. Code 2451 et seq.).
The following was condensed and edited from the NASA web site--with added content to further inform visitors to the Federal Gateway site.
