NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was formed by the U. S. Congress to lead "the expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space."

Expanding the realm of human knowledge through a systematic program of exploration and discovery, NASA's work continues to benefit the nation. New industries have been built on the technology that made space exploration possible, including personal computers, advanced medical equipment, and communications satellites. NASA's high-technology research and development provide a return on investment by generating jobs, the demand for goods and services, and new opportunities as advanced technologies spin off into the private sector.
