SPACE AGENCY ESTABLISHED ON THIS DAY
The U.S. Congress passed legislation establishing the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),
a civilian agency responsible for coordinating America’s
activities in space, on July 29, 1958. The agency opened
for business on Oct. 1, 1958.
NASA has since sponsored space expeditions, both human
and mechanical, that have yielded vital information about
the solar system and universe.
It has also launched numerous earth-orbiting satellites
that have been instrumental in everything from weather
forecasting to navigation to global communications.
President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics
and Space Act of 1958 into law on July 29, creating
NASA.
