The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) is the central federal
agency associated with U.S. space exploration.
NASA conducts its work in four principal
organizations, called mission directorates:
- Aeronautics pioneers and
proves new flight technologies that improve
our ability to explore space while also
having practical applications on
Earth.
- Exploration Systems develops
new capabilities for affordable and
sustainable human and robotic
exploration.
- Science explores the Earth,
moon, the other planets in our solar
system, and beyond - charting the best
routes of discovery while reaping the
benefits of Earth and space exploration for
society.
- Space Operations provides key
enabling technologies for much of the rest
of NASA through the space shuttle,
international space station, and flight
support.

All major aspects of U.S. aerospace --
air, space, and national
defense -- continually rely on the
investments in research & development for
their cutting-edge technologies, products, and
applications. Few other U.S. industries are as
heavily dependent on the on-going work in
research & development (R&D) as is the
aerospace industry. And as a result, few other
industries are as reliant on finding and
retaining top scientific and professional
talent to fill these valuable jobs.
This R&D emphasis permeates both the
federal agency and commercial business
involvement in aerospace.
