NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was created on July 29, 1958, in response to the Soviet Union's successful launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957. It was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act, which aimed to coordinate and advance U.S. space exploration efforts. NASA replaced the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and took on a broader mission to conduct civilian space research and exploration. The agency has since played a pivotal role in numerous space missions, including the Apollo moon landings and the Space Shuttle program.
