NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)
America's first satellite launched into outer space was called the Explorer 1, and was launched in 1958.
NASA was launched by America in 1958, before that it was NACA which was launched in 1915 and was ended in 1958 when NASA launched, this year NASA would complete its 50th Anniversary.
The first satellite from the United States launched into space was called Explorer 1. It was launched on January 31, 1958.
The name of the space agency created by the government in 1958 is NASA, which stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA is responsible for the United States' civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.
It was called explorer 1 and was used for radio activity.
When the Soviets launched their satellite, named "Sputnik", almost immediately the United States established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (known as NASA) in July of 1958.

The name of the space agency created by the government in 1958 is NASA, which stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA is responsible for the United States' civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.
It was called explorer 1 and was used for radio activity.
Explorer-1 was the first U.S. satellite successfully launched into space, in January 1958. Alan Shepard was the first U.S. man launched into space, in January 1961.
The first US space probe was named "Pioneer 1". It was launched on 11th October 1958.
NASA became the US civilian space agency as the successor to NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) on October 1, 1958. The earliest US satellites were launched by the military, such as the US Army's Ballistic Missile Agency (Explorer I, January 31, 1958) and the US Navy's Project Vanguard (Vanguard I, March 17, 1958). NASA was involved in a string of unsuccessful launch attempts, notably the Beacon series. Its first success was with the Navy's Vanguard 2 on February 17, 1959 (this satellite is still orbiting the Earth), and NASA continued the Explorer series with Explorer 7 on October 13, 1959.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the independent US governmental agency established in 1958 for the research and development of space vehicles and activities for the exploration of space within and outside of Earth's atmosphere.
