Nasa

Established with an act of Congress signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 29, 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the U.S. government agency responsible for space exploration. In that capacity, it has landed a man on the moon, launched and maintained weather satellites, established a space station, set up the Hubble Space Telescope and other sophisticated viewing equipment, and sent unmanned reconnaissance probes to the farthest reaches of the solar system. Although space is NASA's mission, those of us who have never left Earth have also benefited from NASA's work, as this lively, informative account explains.Tocci, Salvatore is the author of 'Nasa' with ISBN 9780531155981 and ISBN 0531155986.
