National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or in short, is a branch of the United States government, which is responsible for the country's public space programs and aeronautics and aerospace modification. NASA's target sentence "From February 2006, is to explore space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics revision in future". NASA announced on September 14, 2011 that they have chosen the design of a new space launch system, so that the space astronauts will be able to travel far and wide in space and the US will prove to be a new step in human space exploration.

NASA was formed in place of the National Advocacy Committee for Aeronautics (NCA) on July 19, 1958 under its National Aeronautics and Space Act. This organization started functioning from October 1, 588. Since then, all the events of American Space Exploration have been conducted by NASA, which include Apollo Moon campaign, SkyLab space station and later Space shuttle. Presently NASA is supporting the International Space Station and the Oryan is focusing on the construction and development of multi-purpose crew vehicles and commercial crew vehicles. The organization is also responsible for the launch service program (LSP), which takes care of the launch tasks and countdown to NASA's unmanned launches.

When the satellite Sputnik orbited Earth in October 1957, Russia pulled ahead in the space race. The Cold War was on, and the United States scrambled to respond in kind. It had already developed a satellite under another national program, but it became clear that a dedicated space agency was in order. President Eisenhower and Senator Lyndon B. Johnson led the drive. It took one year from Sputnik's launch to get the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through Congress and into full operation. Not a second was wasted in eliminating Russia's lead: Even before NASAwas fully up and running, the United States sent a satellite into orbit. We were officially in the Space Age.

From the start, NASA's goals were lofty. It planned to expand human knowledge of space; lead the world in space-related technological innovation; develop vehicles that can carry both equipment and living organisms into space; and coordinate with international space agencies to achieve the greatest possible scientific advancements. In the last 50 years, NASA has achieved every one of those goals, and it continues to seek answers to some of the biggest mysteries in science as it evolves with a changing world.
