Some Facts about NASA

Facts about NASA:


NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is a US government agency that plays a key role in aerospace science and technology. The Space Age began in 1957 with the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik. Let's take a look at some interesting untold facts about NASA.


NASA's work includes conducting scientific research, helping scientists learn more about the Earth, studying the solar system, and more. In addition, new developments improve air travel and other aspects of flight. There is a lot of other work going on at NASA.


NASA's History Office Program publishes quarterly newsletters, publishes books, hosts social media, provides grants, educates the public about various space missions, space history, and more Did you know that we run a collection of historical materials to help? Over the years, NASA has been responsible for several space explorations originating in the United States.


• In 1958, NASA was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was then established as a civilian independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government.


• Before NASA was founded, President Woodrow Wilson established the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Its primary function is to supervise and direct scientific research and investigate flight-related issues.


• Remember Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviets just one year before NASA was founded? , clicked a picture of the surface of the Earth from space.


• In the late 1960s, President John F. Kennedy gave NASA the goal of sending humans to the moon.

On July 20, 1969, humans first walked on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. About a dozen men walked on the moon in all Apollo programs. The 1970 Apollo 13 moon landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded.


• A research aircraft known as the SR-71 or "Blackbird" used by NASA to test high-speed, high-altitude aviation research. It was designed in secret in the 1950s by Lockheed's Advanced Development Company, also known as "Skunk Works".


• NASA Headquarters is in Washington, D.C.; He has nine centers, a jet propulsion laboratory, and seven testing laboratories in several states across the United States. Did you know that over 17,000 people work for his NASA, many of them as government contractors?Astronauts are NASA's most famous employees. Most of NASA's staff are scientists and engineers. Some people here have different jobs, such as writers, lawyers, and teachers.


• NASA currently has astronauts living and working on the International Space Station. NASA's robotic space probes have visited every corner of the solar system and various celestial bodies. With the help of telescopes, scientists explore the vastness of the universe. In fact, satellites have assisted and provided multiple data about the Earth that have helped us understand multiple phenomena and valuable information for a better understanding of weather patterns.

• NASA also showed new employees the movie Armageddon and questioned them about the movie's inaccuracies. At least 168 people have been confirmed. In 1972, NASA and the Department of Health, Education and Human Services created the Learning Channel (TLC).


• Did you know that NASA has a program to deal with life on other planets and if it is found it will be known as the Planetary Protection Agency? They have also discovered a "water world" 40 light-years away, which may contain exotic materials such as hot ice and superfluid water.


• NASA has designed a spacecraft that can use nuclear explosions to deflect approaching asteroids. Also, a NASA scientist invented his Super Soaker spray gun.


• On November 26, 2011, NASA launched a mission to Mars and landed on Mars on August 6, 2012. This is intended to determine that Mars supports microbial life.


• The Artemis program is NASA's lunar exploration program. By 2024, NASA has promised to land American astronauts on the moon, including the first woman and the next man.


• NASA helps teachers prepare students to be future engineers, scientists, astronauts, and other NASA personnel. They become adventurers who continue to explore the solar system and space. In fact, NASA has a tradition of investing in programs and activities that inspire students, educators, families, and others. NASA provides training for teachers to learn new ways to teach science, technology, and mathematics.


Therefore, NASA's vision is to discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of mankind.
