The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA /ˈnæsə/) is an independent agency of the US federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA /ˈnæsə/) is an independent agency of the US federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.

NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), to give the U.S. space development effort a distinctly civilian orientation, emphasizing peaceful applications in space science.NASA has since led most American space exploration, including Project Mercury, Project Gemini, the 1968-1972 Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle.

NASA supports the International Space Station and oversees the development of the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System, Commercial Crew vehicles, and the planned Lunar Gateway space station. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program, which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for uncrewed NASA launches.

NASA's science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System; advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program;exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic spacecraft such as New Horizons and planetary rovers such as Perseverance; and researching astrophysics topics, such as the Big Bang, through the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Great Observatories and associated programs.

NASA was also responsible for the development and launching of a number of satellites with Earth applications, such as Landsat, a series of satellites designed to collect information on natural resources and other Earth features; communications satellites; and weather satellites. It also planned and developed the space shuttle, a reusable vehicle capable of carrying out missions that could not be conducted with conventional spacecraft.

Vance Brand, in full Vance DeVoe Brand, (born May 9, 1931, Longmont, Colorado, U.S.), American astronaut who was command pilot for several historic space ventures, including the first joint U.S.-Soviet crewed space mission and the first fully operational space shuttle mission.

Brand gained flight experience as an aviator with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve from 1953 to 1957 and graduated from the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, Patuxent, Maryland, in 1963. He subsequently worked as an engineering test pilot for the Lockheed Company until 1966, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose him to be an astronaut. Brand was backup command module pilot for Apollo 15 and backup commander for the Skylab 3 and 4 missions prior to being named command pilot for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP).
