President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act in 1958, officially establishing NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). This act created a civilian agency dedicated to the peaceful exploration of outer space, with a focus on advancing aeronautics research and development as well.
Why did NASA begin?
Th United States became alarmed about a perceived national security threat and loss of technological superiority after Russia lunched its first human made satellite "Sputnik." President Eisenhower and others were convinced measures had to be taken to facilitate space efforts. Thus, in 1958 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established as a part of that effort.
What events led to the establishment of the NASA?
Soviets' launching of Sputnik 1
What are facts about NASA?
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established in 1958, a year after Russia launched Sputnik. The Apollo program, which lasted from 1961 to 1975, was established to send humans to the moon. There were many missions associated with the Apollo program. However, the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 was historic because it was the first time man walked on the moon. NASA has sent spacecraft's to planets like Mars to study them.
How did NASA get its funding?
On October 1st, 1958 the United States Congress formed NASA, which stands for National Aeronautical and Space Administration. NASA replaced NACA . The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NACA was pronounced as individual letters, rather than as an acronym. NASA was borne out of United States concerns following the Russian (then USSR) launch and orbit of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1. Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on 4 October 1957. This triggered the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States. The reason there was a race for space is due to the vast military dominance associated with holding the high ground during a battle. Whoever controlled outer space held the highest ground possible. NASA's budget is reviewed and administered annually by the the United States Congress. (Added text concerning NACA and Sputnick 1 was taken from Wikipedia.)
