The National Aeronautics and Space Administration maintains the ’ role as a leader in aeronautical and space science technology by improving the usefulness, performance, speed, safety, and efficiency of aeronautical and space vehicles and by conducting space flight research. It also conducts space exploration activities with manned and unmanned vehicles and utilizes the aeronautical and space resources of the United States and other nations for peaceful purposes.

The National Aeronautics and Space the science, research, and exploration Administration (NASA) was established achievements of the rest of NASA. This by the National Aeronautics and Space is done through three themes: the Act of 1958, as amended (42 U.S.C. International Space Station, Space 2451 et seq.). Shuttle, and Space and Flight Support. The International Space Station Activities supports activities for establishing a Aeronautics Research Directorate The permanent human presence in Earth’s Aeronautics Research Mission orbit.
