NASA is the US government agency responsible for the civilian space program. The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) manages the military space program and its own satellites. NASA is an independent government agency as is the EPA, FDA, FAA, and others. These government agencies work together with other federal and state agencies including the military as required by law.

Can military service help get you into NASA?

Military service is a requirement for the Astronaut Corps if you want to be a pilot or mission commander.

They also generally have degrees in Aeronautics or Astrophysics, or other science degrees.For other NASA jobs, a 4yr degree is required, regardless of military service, and typically they look for those with degrees in areas relevant to space exploration and technology.For example:Aeronautical EngineeringAstrophysicsThermal EngineeringMechanical EngineeringElectrical EngineeringElectronics EngineeringMaterials EngineeringPlanetary SciencesBio-sciencesMetallurgical SciencesChemical EngineeringLaser & Optical TechnologyMany NASA employees also have prior experience working in their respective fields before joining NASA.
