NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Established in 1957, NASA is the United States lead agency for aeronautics and space research, and runs the U.S. civilian space program.
On May 25, 1961, NASA was assigned the task by President John F. Kennedy of "landing a man on the surface of the moon and returning him safely to Earth" by the end of the decade; this goal was accomplished by the Apollo project in July, 1969
NASA's headquarters is in Washington, D.C., but the technical NASA work is accomplished at the nine NASA Field Centers, as well as by universities and private industry under contract to NASA.
