Best Answer

The last A in NASA stands for ADMINISTRATION.

Means they're meant to Control and direct stuff, not to actually make things.

So they use Contractors to produce the things that the people at NASA invent and want.

Should i prefer electronics or mechanical to join NASA?

Either or, but Mechanical and Electrical engineers have more profile and work on actual spacecraft design, engineering, and building oversight. Other good degrees are Materiels Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Astrophysics, and Aeronautical Engineering. It's important to note that most NASA employees aren't necessarily hired right off a resume' or from college. Most engineers in NASA are hired from prior experience with NASA working as at an aerospace contractor. It's also important to note that NASA itself doesn't have that many employees; the major NASA centers are run by civilian contractors, so if NASA is your ultimate goal, start looking at the contractors who service the various NASA centers.

Will nasa use an Apollo rocket if they return to the moon?

The blueprints of the Saturn V rocket where lost in part, and the contractors closed, changed business, or aren't available to redo the same parts. The "Apollo" spacecraft will be replaced by the "Orion" spacecraft, and it wil use Ares as the rocket, instead of the Saturn from the 1960's.


Why did JPL join NASA?

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory didn't "join" NASA - from its beginnings in 1936, it has always been a federally funded R&D center. It was initially run by the Army, and after NASA was created, it was transferred to it and became one of its field centers (others are Goddard, Marshall, Langley, etc.). The confusion often comes from the public misconception that JPL is a part of CalTech, which it isn't. It is a government center staffed by CalTech employees and private contractors. CalTech manages and operates JPL under contract from NASA, as many similar centers are run. NASA is actually a very small agency - most of those who actually operate centers and perform work are government employees from other agencies or contractors.
