NASA | Missions, Discoveries & Space Exploration

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the United States government agency responsible for the nation's civilian space program, aeronautics research, and Earth system science. Founded in 1958, NASA operates the most active deep space exploration portfolio in the world, including the Artemis lunar program, the Mars Perseverance and Curiosity rovers, the James Webb Space Telescope, and a fleet of Earth-observing satellites that monitor climate, atmosphere, and ocean systems.

Active Missions & Programs

NASA's current priorities center on returning humans to the Moon through the Artemis program, with Artemis 3 targeting a crewed lunar landing. The agency simultaneously operates robotic missions across the solar system, from the Mars surface to the outer planets, and maintains continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station.
